    I64 BASIC provides the following online information, which is
    copied to the user's system during installation:

    o  The VSI BASIC for OpenVMS I64 Systems online Release Notes

    o  I64 BASIC DCL Help

    o  I64 BASIC Language Topics Help

1.1  –  I64 BASIC Language Topics Help

 HELP on BASIC language topics, available from the VAX BASIC
 environment is accessible from DCL in I64 BASIC. For help on
 language features, type the following command at the DCL prompt:

    $ HELP/LIBRARY=BASICHELP

    Alternately, a symbol can be defined to access help on BASIC
    language features directly. For example, the DCL command:

    $ BASHELP == "HELP /LIBR=BASICHELP"

    will allow you to type:

    $ BASHELP BASIC-topic

2  –  Documentation corrections

    The following corrections should be made to the Alpha BASIC
    manuals.

2.1  –  Reference Manual

    Corrections to the online HTML documentation HP BASIC for OpenVMS
    Systems Reference Manual.

    o  The Table of Result Data Types in Alpha BASIC Expressions in
       Section 1.6.1.2 has two incorrect entries in the online HTML
       documentation. The table in the paper and PDF documentation
       however is correct. The entries for GFLOAT/SFLOAT and
       SFLOAT/GFLOAT should be GFLOAT.

2.2  –  User Guide

    Corrections to the HP BASIC for OpenVMS Systems User Manual.

    o  The conditional at the end of Example 13-1, in the "File
       Input and Output" chapter should have an equal sign instead
       of "AND". It should read as Rms_status = Rms$_normal instead
       of Rms_status AND Rms$_normal.
