3rd paragraph

The values of IOMode listed in the OpenTextFile method of the FileSystemObject
appear to be incorrect.

This book states:

ForAppending = 0
ForReading = 1
ForWriting = 2

I could not make the file read work as expected with these values. Upon
checking "Microsoft Windows Script Host 2.0 Developer's Guide" by Gunter Born
(Microsoft Press), page 366, I found that the actual values are:

ForAppending = 8
ForReading = 1
ForWriting = 2

Mr. Born's description appears to be more accurate, as file manipulation works
as expected.

FormatPercent Description (2nd paragraph)

"FormatPercent returns the formatted number followed by a percentage sign (%)."

should read:

"FormatPercent returns the formatted number (multiplied by 100) followed by a percentage sign (%)."

(The FormatPercent function is used to represent a fractional value in percent.)
