DOCERR: DO FORM LINKED Clause Does Not Require a Variable

SUMMARY
The Microsoft Visual FoxPro Help file, and the Language Reference, page
345, incorrectly document the DO FORM command's LINKED clause.
When the LINKED clause is used, no memory variable name (MemVarName) is
needed after the keyword LINKED. Adding a MemVarName after linked will
produce a "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword" error.
NOTE: This was corrected in the Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows
documentation.
MORE INFORMATION
The LINKED clause stands by itself. Visual FoxPro always creates a MemVar
when a DO FORM command is used. The MemVarName is either derived from the
.scx file name or specified by the user when the optional NAME < MemVarName
> clause is used. All the LINKED clause does is tell Visual FoxPro that the
form should be destroyed when the MemVarName is released.
