My apologies Guido. Subtracting the inappropriate syntax suggestions leaves the following hopefully on-topic documentation suggestions. It may be good to have a stronger association to "try" in the documentation by: 1. Suggesting to the programmer that in many situations a with can be thought of as 'try with'. 2. Reminding or clarify that a with will handle the object or context cleanup, but the programmer *may still* need to catch exceptions that are generated within the block with a "try-except" at some point. 3. The "with" documentation could possibly be grouped with or after the "try" documentation as it may be easier to understand in that context. Regards, Ron
