Not necessarily, but I'm still not sure what you're asking for.  You say
you want the "big picture," but your queries seem too general to pin
down exactly what part of the "big picture" (if any) you're missing,
particularly since you have access to and have read the library
reference section on exceptions.Exception.

Why not try asking some very specific questions, with code if necessary,
and see where that takes you?
