Bug in docs...

Patric Bechtel
Hello Mike,

just found a (small) bug in the documentation of NetRexx:
in the section "Exception and error handling" in the
quick start, the following code is shown:

  say 'Please enter a number:'
  number=ask
  do
    say 'The reciprocal of' number 'is:' 1/number
  catch Exception
    say 'Sorry, could not divide "'number'" into 1'
    say 'Please try again.'
  end

It does not compile, as "the exception is not signalled...".
For a rookie (one of our employees learning NetRexx at the
moment), this a kinda confusing...
It should better be "catch RuntimeException".

Reading through the docs I found nothing about this thing;
though I know it since at least 2.00 version...
