Shell error exit question

Dumb question #4,287 -
How does one get /bin/sh to NOT exit when processing a script which produces
"not found", or other potentially recoverable errors ?
Yes, I RTFM: according to the manual, "Errors detected by the shell ...
cause the shell to return a nonzero exit status. If the shell is being used
noninteractively, execution of the shell file is abandoned."
The reason I suspect there's a work-around is that I've tried the same script
with Ksh and it merrily continues processing even if "not found" errors occur.
Thanks in advance for any help.
