Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

QBasic has stopped doing an item-by-item translation of the
program line at the highlighted item. The error is
ordinarily to the left of the item. You could:
  ■ Substitute an item suggested in the dialog box.
  ■ Correct any misspelled keywords.
  ■ Move the cursor to a keyword in the statement and press
    F1 to see the correct syntax for the keyword.
