On Page 495 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for 7.00
and 7.10), the "proc far" declaring the assembly procedures as far
should actually be just "far", not "proc far" as shown below.

The following is incorrect:

   extrn stringassign:proc far

It should be the following:

   extrn stringassign:far
