I compiled it with dmd and ran it directly from the command line 
and it worked fine:

C:\dev\D\scratch>ex
finally
catch %sfirst
done

Did you try that? And do you have the MS linker installed or are 
you using the lld that ships with DMD?

Two things regarding your code:

writeln does no formatting. You want writefln for that. But with 
writeln, you can provide multiple string arguments and they will 
be concatenated into the final output, like this:

writeln("catch ", e.msg);

Also, you don't need the `int main` signature if you don't 
actually need the return value to signify anyting:

void main() { }}

is just fine.
