SUMMARY

On Page 172 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: Language Reference" manual, the PrintScreen example is missing a left parenthesis, "(", on line number 13. The line reads

   max& = (4+(SYSTEM(6)+1)*2*INT(SYSTEM(5)+16)/16))/4+1
                

and it should read as follows:

   max& = (4+(SYSTEM(6)+1)*2*INT((SYSTEM(5)+16)/16))/4+1
                                 ^
                                 |
                        added missing parenthesis
                

If the program is entered as listed in the manual, a "SYNTAX ERROR" message is generated during program execution.
