Page 80 of the "QuickAssembler Programmer's Guide" contains an example
of a .COM file. This example produces a nonfatal warning if assembled
and run. The warning reads as follows:

   warning A5132: .Startup found without matching .Exit

Accessing Quick Help reveals that the use of the .Startup directive
should be used in conjunction with an .Exit directive. To eliminate
this warning, place an .Exit directive on the line preceding the END
statement in the example shown in the "QuickAssembler Programmer's
Guide." The warning issued is a nonfatal warning. The program should
function correctly.
