54 About Your System
Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you of 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 may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests
on your system. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 165 for more
information about system diagnostics.
