The ErrTry and ErrCatch macros are for your application's use only (that should become
clear when you examine their implementations as hidden stack-based "gotos"). ErrTry
and ErrCatch will not catch errors that occur when calling Palm OS APIs because the
Palm OS does not throw exceptions (however it does throw up fatal and non-fatal error
dialogs from time to time... but those are completely different).
