The correction below applies to the example program for the COMMAND$
function on Page 114 of the following manuals:

1. "Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.0: BASIC Language Reference"

2. "Microsoft BASIC Compiler 6.0: BASIC Language Reference"

On Page 114, the SUB statement on line seven incorrectly reads as
follows:

   SUB Comline(NumArgs, Args$(1), MaxArgs) STATIC

This line should read as follows:

   SUB Comline(NumArgs, Args$(), MaxArgs) STATIC

In brief, replace Args$(1) in the first statement with Args$().

This information also applies to the example program on Page 61 of the
"Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual which comes with
Microsoft BASIC PDS Version 7.00.

On Page 61, the SUB statement on line five incorrectly reads as
follows:

   SUB Comline(NumArgs,Args$,MaxArgs) STATIC

This line should read as follows:

   SUB Comline(NumArgs,Args$(),MaxArgs) STATIC
