lookup,lookdown def error

El Paisa

I think there is an error in the definition of LOOKUP/Z and LOOKDOWN/Z.
The examples (monitor.spin) shown one way but·Propeller Manual Preliminary Draft v0.4·, Page 4-89 shows another.
Which is correct?

There is a typo in the docs·-- this:·
· index := lookdown(value, 25, 300, 2_510, 163, 17, 8_000, 3)
should be:
· index := lookdown(value : 25, 300, 2_510, 163, 17, 8_000, 3)
A colon follows the search value, not a comma.· Please note for future reference that what you find in our actual·program examples is probably correct as we have run those programs.· And in this case, the keyword definition describes the syntax correctly, the error was introduced by typing a simple example in the text of the document.

Similarly on page 4-91, the example should read:

Temp := lookup(Index : 25, 300, 2_510, 163, 17, 8_000, 3)
