Yes, you *can* have an exception handling routine. RKM is a bit vague. The most I've ever done inside the 'service' routine is to increment a global variable. RKM says that the exception handler is on the user-stack and run almost as if it were a subroutine of your process. However, since most library calls also run on the user-stack, I don't think it would be a good idea to 'cleanup and exit'... you could hit ^C at a critical moment (C-A, any comments?? are library calls and such protected from the exception signal processing????). -Matt
