Q34113: Use CONST N=45, Not CONT N=45, Documentation Error in 4.00

Article: Q34113
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 4.00 4.00b
Operating System(s): MS-DOS
Keyword(s): ENDUSER | docerr B_BasicCom | mspl13_basic
Last Modified: 13-DEC-1989

The following correction applies to Page 25 of the following manuals:

1. "Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 4.0: BASIC Language Reference"
   manual for Versions 4.00 and 4.00b

2. "Microsoft BASIC Compiler 6.0: BASIC Language Reference" for
   Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2

The example for the symbolic constant on Page 25 should read

   CONST N=45

instead of:

   CONT N=45

This information was corrected in the documentation for Microsoft
QuickBASIC 4.50 and Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.00.
