The following statement in the program example WHEREIS.BAS on Page
78 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5: Programming in BASIC" manual for
Version 4.50 is incorrect. The last line on the page incorrectly
states the following:

   OPEN TempSpec$ FOR INPUT AS #FileNu

This statement should be corrected as follows:

   OPEN TempSpec$ FOR INPUT AS #FileNum

The WHEREIS.BAS example program is also included in the \EXAMPLES
subdirectory on the "Setup/Microsoft QB Express" disk for QuickBASIC
Version 4.50. The example provided on disk does not contain the error
and executes properly in the QB.EXE environment or as an .EXE program.

This documentation error has been corrected in the manuals for
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS
OS/2.
