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.
