I think the concept of CATCH and THROW are useful but I thought that maybe the names might be undue. Thinking about what CATCH really does, (execute Forth and provide a return code), I jotted down a few words off the top of my head and a few from from a synonymy entry RUN: RUN SPAWN EXECUTE CALL FLOW ACT DISPATCH LICENSE The only word that came to mind for THROW was RETURN. (This wasn't inspired by another incarnation of return which always cleans up and can return a single value). This would imply CALL. DISPATCH seams to imply a paralell processing or a code sharing wordset which might also contain CONTINUE and STOP. Just thoughts, Rob
