Thanks. Then it is excacly like I thought. I had to know this one way or the other. It is possible that some people actually think this is 'no exception' - since it is possible to see what happens all the time - in that case, I feel sorry for the world. I am happy that exceptions can mean 'exceptional program flow' and not necessarily 'untracable program flow'. Not that interrupts are that hard to grasp, but they are just that: Interrupts. In the i386, some interrupts are called 'exceptions' - maybe some of the confusion comes from this? Anyway, as far as I am concerned, the issue is resolved to my entire satisfaction :-) Atle
