Note sure exactly what you want, but you could try Lisp in Small Pieces
by Christian Queinnec.  If I remember right he talks about exceptions in
terms of continuations.

Or you could just start reading up on continuations if you're not
familiar with them.  Wikipedia has a call/cc page at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-with-current-continuation
