SUMMARY
In the &quot;Microsoft QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: Language Reference&quot; version 1.0 manual, there are errors in the code example on page 84. When the code example is entered as shown, it results in an &quot;Unprintable Error&quot; message. The example demonstrates how to use the COMMON statement in QuickBasic for the Macintosh.

There are three errors in the code on page 84, in the following statements:

Lines 7 and 21: &quot;REM $INCLUDE &quot;chesscom.inc&quot; Line 15: &quot;REM $INCLUDE &quot;game.inc&quot; The syntax shown on page 378 is also incorrect.



MORE INFORMATION
To run the program on page 84 correctly, you must substitute the following statements for the metacommands shown: REM $INCLUDE: 'chesscom.inc'           '(for lines 7 and 21)

REM $INCLUDE: 'gamecom.inc'            '(for line 15) The syntax on page 378 should read: REM $INCLUDE: 'filename' The syntax for include files is to use single quotation marks around the filename. The double quotation marks are syntax errors.
