3.2 Error Messages
Error messages always follow the carriage return of the previously submitted
command line. They are usually preceded with a user-defined newline, as
described in the General Protocol. Processing of a line of input which contains
multiple commands ceases when an error in one of the commands occurs;
subsequent commands are ignored. An example session containing various error
messages follows:
M&C terminal shell
> HI<cr>
Error: HI is unknown
> FREQUENCY =<cr> value is missing
> FREQUENCY = 0 0.000<cr> <-- value is too low. Range: 945.000 to
12750.000
> FREQUENCY = 950<cr>
