SUMMARY
The manuals below incorrectly state that a stand-alone program compiled without the /d (debug) option can read a CTRL-BREAK keystroke with the INKEY$ function. The INKEY$ function does not return bytes for CTRL-BREAK under any circumstances. The incorrect sentence in the manual should be deleted.

This correction applies to the INKEY$ function documentation in the following reference manuals:


 * 1) Page 298 of the &quot;Microsoft QuickBasic Compiler&quot; Versions 2.x and 3.00 manual
 * 2) Page 218 of the &quot;Microsoft QuickBasic 4.00: Basic Language Reference&quot;
 * 3) Page 218 of &quot;Microsoft Basic Compiler Version 6.00 for MS OS/2 and MS-DOS: Basic Language Reference&quot;
