Just wondering, why call "catch" the command that prevents termination of a script when command errors occur? The analogy I can think is that the script is "about to fall" (as in "The rise and the fall of the Roman Empire") and we "catch" it so that it doesn't after all. -- Alecos Papadopoulos PhD Candidate Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece School of Economic Sciences Department of Economics https://alecospapadopoulos.wordpress.com/
