SUMMARY
=======

In the online help for the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0, the
definition for the MACRO directive lists the ENDM directive as taking an
optional value that is returned from the macro. This is incorrect. The only way
to write a macro function that returns a value is with the EXITM directive.
