Thanks.  The manual changes are approved, with the following gotchas:

> +@kindex try

> +execution of the series, but not the entire script.  There can be and

The last words should be "an", not "and", I think.

> +optional @code{except} line, which must also be followed by a series of
> +commands, one per line.  Commands in the @code{except} block are
> +executed if an error is encountered in the corresponding @code{try}
> +block.

a difficulty grasping this without an example.
