Aiyo. Oops. I'm happy *enough* with Script Editor, but it's the 
scripting language I was asking about - sorry for my lack of clarity.

Basically I'd like not to have to embed my script ever deeper within 
error-catching if statements; I think I'm missing something basic - I'd 
expect to be able to to do something like this:

on run
	subroutine1
	subroutine2
	subroutine3
	do some final stuff
end

with the code in each subroutine going something like this:

on subroutine1
	do some stuff
	if error1, exit run
end

and so on.

As it is, I have to go

on run
	subroutine1

	if not error1
		subroutine2

		if not error2
			subroutine3

			if not error3
				do some final stuff
			end if
		end if
	end if
end

Which looks messy to me. I could do this stuff in Hypercard, so I 
assume there's some way to do it in Applescript. But maybe not. Just 
thought I'd see if anyone had better ideas than me...

Thanks,
Will
