There is a documentation error on Page 43 of the "Microsoft BASIC
Compiler 6.0: Programming in BASIC: Selected Topics" manual for
Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS
OS/2. The last sentence of the first paragraph in the Note that
appears in the center of the page is missing some text.

The sentence should read as follows:

   A DECLARE statement ensures that only the correct number and type
   of arguments are passed to a procedure, and allows your program to
   call procedures defined in separate modules. See the "BASIC
   Language Reference" manual for more information on DECLARE.

This documentation error was corrected in the documentation for
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for
MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
