Q58218: QBX /NOF (NOFrills) Option Saves 19K, Not 22K in BASIC 7.00

The "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Getting Started" manual incorrectly states
on Page 15 that the /NOFrills command-line option for QBX.EXE reduces
memory usage by 22K.

However, the manual correctly states on Page 16 that QBX actually uses
about 19K less memory with the /NOF command-line option.

This information applies to QBX.EXE in Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.

Please note that the /NOF option for QBX.EXE is unrelated to the /NOF
(/NOFarcalls) option for the linker (LINK.EXE) in BASIC PDS 7.00.
