In the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual for Microsoft
BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10,
the error "Database needs repair" at the top of Page 639 incorrectly
refers to the file REPAIR.EXE for use in repairing ISAM files. The
correct name for this file is ISAMREPR.EXE.

The error message summary om Page 639 should be changed read as
follows:

   An OPEN FOR ISAM statement attempted to open a file that is in
   need of repair. You may want to use the ISAMREPR.EXE utility
   to recover (restore physical integrity to) the database.
