On Page 179 of the Version 1.02 "Microsoft Editor for MS OS/2 and
MS-DOS Operating Systems: User's Guide," there is a documentation
error. In the section of the reference table describing the "Mark"
function, the marker deletion and marker definition descriptions are
reversed. To define a marker at the cursor position, the correct
syntax is Arg Arg textarg Mark. To delete a marker definition, the
syntax is Arg Arg textarg Meta Mark. The entries SHOULD appear as
follows:

   Entry                         Function
   -----                         --------

   Arg Arg textarg Mark          Defines a file marker at the
                                 initial cursor position. This
                                 does not record the file marker
                                 in the file specified by the
                                 markfile switch, but allows you
                                 to refer to this position as
                                 textarg.

   Arg Arg textarg Meta Mark     Deletes a marker definition.

On Page 39, the reference to Arg Arg textarg Mark is correct.
