2.7 Reference guide to AMSDOS Error Messages.
When AMSDOS cannot carry out a command for some reason, it will display an error
message. If there is a problem with the hardware, an error message is followed by the
question Retry, Ignore or Cancel?
R causes the operation be be repeated, possibly after the user has taken some
preventive action.
I causes the computer to continue as if the problem had not occurred, which will often
lead to unexpected and possibly inconvenient results.
C causes the operation to be cancelled, which will often lead to a further error
message. For further information see Chapter 5.
