        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


Confirmed errors:

[151] In _The Unofficial Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS Robots_,
we should change the source code a little to make the
programs work better. The programs that use the IR port
should set it to long range mode. On p. 151, that means
adding a line to the code just after the main() line:

task main() {
   SetTxPower(TX_POWER_HI);
   SetSensor(SENSOR_1, SENSOR_LIGHT);

[188] This same change should also be made to the RoboTag
program, on p. 188. This time, we'll stick it in the initialize()
subroutine, like this:

sub initialize() {
   SetTxPower(TX_POWER_HI);
   SetSensor(BUMP_SENSOR, SENSOR_TOUCH);
