OK, here's my simpleton reason for not using CATCH. If I use
ON_ERROR I just add 1 line of code at the beginning of each procedure

On_error, 2

But if I use CATCH I need to add a whole paragraph somewhere (where?)
in the code

Catch, theError
IF theError NE 0 THEN BEGIN
Catch, /Cancel
void = Error_Message()
RETURN
END

So what are the advantages of using CATCH? (This is not a trick
question -- I've had a mental block about how to use CATCH.) --Wayne
