SUMMARY

In Figure 1.1 on page 413 of the "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Language Reference" (for versions 7.0 and 7.1), the (x1,y1) coordinates of the WINDOW and LINE statements in the example need to be switched so that the WINDOW statement uses the (x1,y1) coordinates used in the LINE statement, and the LINE statement uses the (x1,y1) coordinates used in the WINDOW statement.

This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.0 and 7.1 for MS-DOS and OS/2.

MORE INFORMATION

In the lower-right graph, the two statements currently read:

   WINDOW (-15,-10)-(5,10)
   LINE (-25,-15)-(-5,-5)

They should be changed to read:

   WINDOW (-25,-15)-(5,10)
   LINE (-15,-10)-(-5,-5)

This change should also be reflected in the graph below the statements. The lower-left end point of the line currently reads (-25,-15), and the lower-left corner of the window reads (-15,-10). The labels for the points should be (-15,-10) for the line and (-25,-15) for the screen.
