The following sentence describing the INSTR function on Page 138 of
the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide" for Microsoft BASIC
Professional Development System (PDS) Versions 7.00 and 7.10 is
incorrect. The second sentence under the "Searching for Strings"
paragraph states the following:

   The INSTR(stringexpression1$, stringexpression2$) function tells
   you whether or not string2 is contained...

This sentence should be changed to refer to stringexpresion2$ instead
of string2, as follows:

   The INSTR(stringexpression1$, stringexpression2$) function tells
   you whether or not stringexpression2$ is contained...
