Dispatch

[Bob Sneidar]

One correction. If a value is returned by the handler that was called, the result will be that value.

One caveat: note that the dispatch command returns a three-state value: "handled", "unhandled", and "passed". So on checking the return value I use "if it it not unhandled then...". The advantage is that there's no runtime error if the command isn't caught, at the slight disadvantage of having to check whether it was handled.
