Looking at this and Section 4.7 of _Users' Manual_ seems to indicate I
would not have to write my own CATCH routine for the above code to work.
I don't have any doubt about when operating in the terminal window.

What happens in a turnkey application, explicitly one built around
GENERICWINDOW and relatives?
