 >> Although there are advantages to using a message based exception scheme,
my own preference in this particular case would be to return an indication
of success or failure using a status code.

I am 100% with you Hans.  That's why I was so disappointed when I found out
that the status value you return from a SPECIAL file is not used as such but
rather just triggers a generic "Special file is broke" status value.  I was
hoping I could throw multiple exception types from within my Special files.
