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 "Microsoft QuickBASIC Compiler" Versions 2.x and
   3.00 manual

2. Page 218 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.00: BASIC Language
   Reference"
