Exceptions in Squeak

You may take a look at BlockContext, exception protocoll. BlockContext  
is the class of [ ] .

If you are searching for a try catch, try
	[ self doingThingsThatMayThrowErrors ] on: Error do: [ something ].

example:
	[ Error new signal] on: Error do: [Transcript show: 'error'].
