Okay I thought of a better example for Try and Catch. This is what should be in the help file:

Try
    repeat
        For x = 0 to 799
            For y = 0 to 599
                ' Oops.
                'a = 0
                Repeat
                    a:+1
                    print a

                    ' Help!  Jane!  Get me off this crazy thing!
                    if a>20 throw "chunks"
                Until a = 10
            next
        next
    forever
Catch a$
	print "caught exception "+a$
EndTry

See? Now it is obvious why you would want to use it. It would be a pain in the ass getting out of that loop otherwise.
