What were you trying to do?
Use whatsup.
What's wrong:
Tried to open whatsup -- my window was too small, and the error
messae referred me to "Essential X." We don't have such a document do
we (noth Graphic Arts and 11-115 don't have it listed anywhere, and
athendoc doesn't have it). When was this last updated?
And that brings up my second point -- should we even HAVE whatsup? I'll
talk about this in another bug report. But looking through it, I didn't
find one even in the whole of March posted (I'm sure other months are as
empty). Maybe we should encourage its use more?
What should have happened:
Some more appropriate error message should have appeared (like the one
help gives).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Essential X (????)
