SUMMARY
The &quot;Microsoft Basic 7.0: Language Reference&quot; manual for Microsoft Basic PDS Versions 7.00 and 7.10 incorrectly documents SCREEN modes 3 and 4. Page 311 incorrectly states that SCREEN mode 3 supports Olivetti or AT&T Adapter Boards and that SCREEN mode 4 supports Hercules graphics capabilities.

This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.

The correct entries under the SCREEN statement for SCREEN modes 3 and 4 are included in the QBX.EXE Microsoft Advisor online Help system and appear as follows:

SCREEN 3: Hercules adapter required, monochrome monitor only


 * 720 x 348 graphics
 * 80 x 25 text format, 9 x 14 character box
 * 2 screen pages (1 only if a second display adapter is installed)
