On Page 495 of the "Microsoft BASIC Version 7.0: Language Reference"
manual (for 7.00 and 7.10), the User Interface (UI) Toolbox routine
"MenuEvent" is incorrectly referred to as "MenuEvent$". This is a
documentation error, since the correct name is "MenuEvent".

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

MenuEvent is a SUB in the toolbox file MENU.BAS and is used to poll
for any menu events activated by the mouse or keyboard.
