arning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and
asks you to do something before execution continues. For
example, before you format a diskette, a message may
warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette, as a
way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing
over the data. These warning messages usually interrupt
the procedure and require you to respond by typing y
(yes) or n (no).
NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the
application programs or the operating system. See
Chapter 4, "Finding Software Solutions," and the docu-
mentation that accompanied the operating system and
application programs.
