This article corrects a documentation error on Page 237 of the
"Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5: Learning to Use" manual for Version 4.50.

The following statement on Page 237 near the middle of the page is
incorrect:

   Also, files created with the EXE requiring BRUN45.EXE option do
   not preserve open files or variables listed in COMMON statements
   when a CHAIN statement transfers control to another program.

This statement should be changed to the following:

   Also, files compiled with /O, which uses the BCOM45.LIB library
   to create a stand-alone .EXE application, do not preserve open
   files or variables listed in COMMON statements when a CHAIN
   statement transfers control to another program.
