The following two corrections apply to the MatSEqn FUNCTION
(MatSEqnS%, MatSEqnD%, and MatSEqnC%) on Page 506 of the "Microsoft
BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual (for 7.00 and 7.10):

1. Insert the text marked in brackets ([]) into the first sentence in
   the Remarks on Page 506, as follows:

   The MatSEqntype% procedure solves a system of linear equations
   contained in [a one-dimensional vector and in] a square matrix...

2. Insert the sentence marked in brackets ([]) after the fourth
   sentence in the Remarks on Page 506, as follows:

   The first matrix is the square input matrix that contains the
   coefficients for a system of simultaneous equations. [The second
   matrix is used to input the vector of constants for that system
   of simultaneous equations.]

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.

For an example of using MatSEqnx (Gaussian elimination), query on
the following words:
