How to port VW "Signal" to Squeak

Use Squeak exception classes. I don't remember this exactly (it has been 
more than ten years since I used it) but it went somewhat along the 
lines that "Object informationSignal" would answer the exception class 
(Signal in VW?), #newSignal would create an instance and #raise would 
raise the signal. Translated to Squeak that means roughly:

VW:      (Object informationSignal) newSignal raise
Squeak:  (SomeExceptionClass)       new       signal

Someone please correct me if I remember this wrongly.

Cheers,
