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 will warn 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
operating system or application.

Diagnostics Messages

The system diagnostic utilities produce messages from diagnostic tests run on
your system. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 154 for more
information about system diagnostics.
