As I was writing a program, I accidentally came across the following keyword:

try

I checked to see if there was help available on this keyword in both
RHIDE's docs and also to see if Borland Turbo C/C++ v3.1 had the same
keyword.  Both IDEs have the same keyword, but neither have documentation
on it.  I searched my C/C++ books for such a keyword and I can't find
anything.

Is this just a bug?  If not, what does 'try' do?  I can't figure this out.
I will check one other IDE tomorrow (Monday) to see if the same thing
happens in a later version of Borland C/C++ (4.5, I think).
