When using Centaur to type-check or compile an AS specification, some error messages or warnings may appear in a specialized window. Hypertext features are used to help the user to localize and understand these messages.
Some words of the messages are emphasized. By clicking (usually with the left button of the mouse) on one of these words, the user can see in its source window to which piece of the specification this particular word refers. In the following, error messages are presented with variables (X, Y,...) that are replaces by strings or subparts of the program when the message is emitted to form a complete phrase. The verb ``refers' when applied to a variable (or to the text that replaces it at run time) designates this hypertext facility.
Each error message produced by the system are commented in the present document. There exists hypertext links between the messages produced by the system and the HTML version of the present documentation. By clicking (usually with the right button of the mouse) on a particular message it is possible to visualize the corresponding documentation (for example using Netscape).
