Article: Q67589
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 7.10

On page 86 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.1: Getting Started" manual, the
first sentence of the second paragraph under the "Extended Memory"
section has a typographical error. The word "tsrmin" should be changed
to read "hmamin".

The corrected sentence should read as follows:

   When using the HIMEM.SYS device driver, you should set hmamin to 63
   (64512 bytes) to ensure that QBX has access to the high-memory
   area.

This information applies to Microsoft Professional Development System
(PDS) version 7.10 for MS-DOS.
