About Your System

Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to
respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format
a diskette, a message warns you that you may lose all data on the diskette.
Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond
by typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the

operating system. For more information, see the documentation that
accompanied the application or operating system.

Diagnostics Messages

The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests
on your system. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on
page 146 for mor
e information about system diagnostics.
