When you can reuse (or *slightly* modify/generalise) an existing  
message, do so. Otherwise add a new one. To do so, edit compiler/msg/ 
errore.msg and add a new entry at the end of the appropriate category,  
along with a description. If you're not sure, search for a related  
message and add it to the end of its category. See the text at the top  
for an explanation of the format of the messages.

When you "make" the compiler, the message files will automatically be  
regenerated from errore.msg
