CCS FAQ #25 has a syntax error

I wanted to write a funciton that waited for a character over the RS232 link, but I spotted the answer here.

I copied + pasted the code into my program and tried compiling, but it kept telling me that kbhit is an "Undefined identifier".

I checked the paper manual and compared it to the online version:

Please report this kind of bugs also to CCS directly. This forum is mainly for users of CCS so reporting bugs here can be useful to other users, but CCS employees are not likely to see it.

Yes I did #use RS232.

If I hadn't, when the kbhit() function apperas a few lines later the compiler would have given me an error saying that the funciton kbhit() had not been defined.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and by adding the () to the line I quoted in my first post made everthing work fine.

Yes I am, but I have no control over the manual if that's what you're asking.
