SUMMARY
The following are three corrections to the &quot;BASIC Reserved Words&quot; list in the &quot;Microsoft QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: BASIC Language Reference&quot; manual (Appendix B):


 * 1) The BASIC reserved word ABOUT (*) is not listed on Page 369 and needs to be added to the list of BASIC Reserved Words.
 * 2) On Page 370, the reserved word RENUM (*) is misspelled as REMUM.
 * 3) On Page 371, the reserved word WAIT needs to be marked with an asterisk (*), which means that it is reserved but not implemented.

The words ABOUT, RENUM, and WAIT are NOT implemented in QuickBASIC but they ARE &quot;reserved,&quot; which means they cannot be used as names for variables or labels. Words that are reserved but not implemented are marked with an asterisk (*) on Pages 369-371 of the manual.



MORE INFORMATION
When you type a reserved word into the QuickBASIC List window and press the RETURN key, the word becomes bold-faced. If the reserved word is not implemented, then you get a &quot;Syntax Error&quot; when you try to run or compile the program.
