Thanks.

It seems I was more than a little fuzzy on exceptions.

It appears that the end of an exception handler is denoted by the "end"
keyword. Sort of the way a military drill instructor denotes stopping by
the word "Halt!".
Hence the phrases  "end;", "end loop;" , "end if;", and "end
<procedure | function>;" all would also enclose an exception handler. An
exception handler has scope throughout the entire declared section unless
propogated.

Is my understanding correct here?

Thanks for the clarification.

Freejack.
