Pages 546 and 547 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" for
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00
and 7.10 incorrectly state that the subroutine MenuSetState treats -1
as a legal value for the parameter state%. The lowest legal value for
state% is 0. This is the scope of the MenuSetState routine. The
MenuSet subroutine should be called to remove an item from a menu.

The MenuSet subroutine, on Pages 545 and 546 of the same manual, is
also documented incorrectly because the lowest legal value of MenuSet
is actually -1, not 0. To make a menu item or menu title disappear,
you must call MenuSet with state% equal to -1.
