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, the error message is followed by the
question:
Retry, Ignore or CanceL?
R causes the operation to be repeated, possibly after the user has taken some
preventative 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.
