274.0. "What is a Bookwriter Error?" by SUPER::HENDRICKS (The only way out is through) Tue Feb 06 1990 10:30

      Can anyone tell me what kind of error I should be looking for when
    the log file gives me the following?  (Whole log file is available if
    needed).
    
    Thanks,
    Holly

    Check out Note 113 for info on undefined symbols. If nothing there
    helps send me a pointer to the dvi files.

    The error went away.
    
    I fixed some online popups that had no text in them.
    I put "TBD" in them and the book built.
