System Error Conditions
System error conditions are errors caused by external

any time during normal processing.

may be displayed to you. Most of these messages will be easy
to understand and you should be able to continue with no

Chapter 8, "VM/PC Messages" on page 8-1 for a
description of what happened to cause the message.
