SUMMARY
=======

On Page 300 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide," the first
paragraph incorrectly states that "it is possible to return the stack to its
original status by subtracting the correct number of words from the SP
register." Instead, after pushing values onto the stack, it is possible to
return the stack to its original status by adding the correct number of words to
the SP register.

Also, the first example on Page 300 uses the SUB command to restore the stack
pointer. The ADD command should be used instead.

Additional query words: 5.10
