this line will exit ANY handler immediately!
So there is no "finally" processed... ;-)
From the docs:

exit to top

Halts the current handler and all pending handlers.
Use the exit to top control structure to stop executing the current 
handler and
suppress pending messages.

Is this a bug (Tuviah, Scott) ?
Although i am not Tuviah or Scott, i don't think this is a bug ;-)
I'm not either.  (Well, I'm not "the" Scott.)

I think the behavior of 'exit to top' in a 'try' is a separate issue to 
what happens to a non-normal exit to a catch section in general.

Consider this:

on mouseUp
  try
    exit to top
  catch e
  finally
    answer "Finally"
  end try
end mouseUp
On my system, Rev 2.2, OS X 10.2.8, I get to the 'finally'.  It might 
not work that way on Jan's.

I think we have a difference of opinion on what should happen here.  I 
think the 'finally' should be executed.  I understand your position to 
be that it should not be.

Whatever it is, it should be documented.
