The corrections below apply to the Example program for the CALL
statement (for calling BASIC procedures) on Page 32 of the "Microsoft
BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual for 7.00 and 7.10:

1. The following incorrect sentence should be changed to say "the
   24th line" instead of "the 25th line":

      The following example uses the CALL statement to call a SUB
      procedure that prints a message on the 25th line of the
      display....

2. The following remark after the LOCATE 24,1 statement should be
   changed to say "the 24th line" instead of "the 25th line":

      LOCATE 24, 1 ' Move cursor to 25th line of display.

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