I have the attached script that I would like to run from an application's
Script Menu (in this case, Claris Emailer). What I am trying to do is
skip execution of handlers 2 and 3 if an error occurrs in handler 1. It
works fine when running as a stand alone script, but when I try to run it
from a script menu, the application gets the quit message instead of the
script... and, after the application quits, handlers 2 and 3 run.
I realize I could have the handlers return pass/fail values and bypass
the following ones with a test, but that get's really tedious with a
large number of handlers.
My objective is write a script that will catch fatal errors such as
timeouts, etc. and gracefully terminate, closing open files, updating
stored variables, etc.
Any suggestions for how to accomplish this?

on handler_1()

on abort()
display dialog "Quitting"
-- If run standalone, handlers 2 & 3 won't be executed.
-- However, either quit form below results in Emailer quitting and the
script
-- continuing to run when run from the Emailer Script Menu
