Dear Mitchell, This is what I want, but only for those functions. I use quite a few functions that produce errors (also from gtk2hs). These functions have been programmed using "error." Would these functions have been programmed with "abort," all would be honkey-dory. That is, unfortunately, not the case, so I'm still looking for a way to catch the existing errors thrown. In the smallest scenario: some_catch_function (error "foo") (error "bar") should result in an error "bar" Regards, Philip _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
