Table 2. Message Group Definitions
Message group Description
Disabled Lists all disabled messages. That means messages displayed in the list box will not be displayed by the application.
Information Lists all information messages. Information messages inform about action taken by the application.
Warning Lists all warning messages. When a warning message is generated, processing of the input file continues.
Error Lists all error messages. When an error message is generated, processing of the input file continues.
Fatal Lists all fatal error messages. When a fatal error message is generated, processing of the input file stops immediately. Fatal messages cannot be changed and are only listed to call context help.

Each message has its own prefix (e.g., `C' for Compiler messages, `A' for Assembler messages, `L' for Linker messages, `M' for Maker messages, `LM' for Libmaker messages) followed by a 4- or 5-digit number. This number allows an easy search for the message both in the manual or on-line help.
