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

> +@kindex try
> +@kindex except
> +@item try

Please add "@itemx except" after "@item try", so that the reader would

> +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
