Appendix C, "Limits of QuickBASIC," on Page 337 of the "Microsoft
QuickBASIC 4.5: Programming in BASIC" manual for Version 4.50 and the
QuickBASIC Advisor on-line Help system incorrectly state that there
is a limit of 8 dimensions for arrays. The actual limit is 60.

Appendix C and the on-line Help system should read as follows:

   Arrays                        Maximum             Minimum
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
   Array Dimensions                60                   1

This information was not included in the documentation for earlier
versions of QuickBASIC or Microsoft BASIC compiler.

This documentation error has been corrected in the "Microsoft BASIC
7.0: Programmer's Guide" for Microsoft BASIC PDS Version 7.00 and in
the Microsoft Advisor on-line Help system of the QBX.EXE environment
in Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.00.
