You're almost there. The dwRunTimeError class, (your "myExc" in this case), will contain error and diagnostic information.

For example, something like:

catch(DWRunTimeError myExc)
  messageBox( "DWRuntimeError", myExc.errorText )
You can also stack exception "catch" clauses, from most restrictive to most general, and the exception will be caught by the first one that it qualifies for.  You're using a DWRuntimeError - what if the error being thrown is just a RuntimeError?  Your existing clause would ignore it, and the systemerror event would trigger.
