DICK, THE PROGRAM IS ON PAGE 130-132
THE EXAMPLE NUMBER 4. I SURE HOPE THAT
YOUR RIGHT, AND AM GLAD TO KNOW THAT
THE MANUAL ISNT ALWAYS RIGHT.  I KNOW
WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT AM NOT FAR
ENOUGH ALONG TO CORRECT IT.
             THANKS,
                  EDDIE ERNEST

I have never tried that one myself
(look, OSS dreamed up all of those
examples), but I do know that at least:
     mode=InputB()    ; read mode
     IF mode='A OR mode='a THEN
;anything but A or a
is wrong and should read:
     mode=GetD(7)
     IF mode='X OR mode='x THEN ;
expand list
Hopes this helps some.  Also, while I'm
on it:

pg. 63 should say that * and / are INT
only operators

pg. 123: ex. #1 is wrong, but sorry
don't remember what is wrong off the
top of my head.  Comma after level in
TYPE dcl. shouldn't be there fer surr. 
I think there aqre other problems as
well.

pg. 158 should state that PrintE
doesn't handle embedded EOL in strings.

pg. 163:  PutDE is like PutE and does
not take the second argument character
as described, only channel.

pg. 166:  in InputMD, <string> should
be at least max+2 in size since and
additional byte is needed for the size
(first byte) and for the EOL that CIO
puts at the end of the string but which
is not included in the size of the
string by ACTION!.

I know that there are more typos, but I
gave my list of them along with
my marked up manual to OSS.  These are
ones I found since then and I hope that
they will be correct in the next
printing.

        - Clint

CLINT, THANKS FOR POINTING OUT ALL
THOSE ERRORS. I WOULD HAVE GONE MADD IF
I USED THOSE AND THEY NOT WORK.
