Need an example of how to use "try" and "catch"

[Jim Hurley]

Thanks Peter.

The problem now is what do these bloody error numbers translate into.
Is the a list somewhere?

When I try:

on mouseUP
   try
  put the cantdelete of me into temp 
catch tErr
--- if tErr is ??????
end try
end mouseUP

I get an error of 348,0,0
