Page 342 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC: BASIC Language Reference"
manual for Versions 4.00 and 4.00b and the "Microsoft BASIC 6.0
Compiler: BASIC Language Reference" manual for Versions 6.00 and
6.00b, ("PUT Statement - File I/O") incorrectly states the following:

   ...characters in the string's value. For example,
    the following two statements write 15 bytes to file
    number 1:

    VarString$=STRING$ (15, "X")
    GET #1,,VarString$

The GET should be changed to PUT as follows:

    VarString$=STRING$ (15, "X")
    PUT #1,,VarString$

This documentation error was corrected in the QuickBASIC Version 4.50
QB Advisor on-line Help system and in the "Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5:
BASIC Language Reference" manual for Version 4.50 and in the
"Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual for Microsoft BASIC
PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
