@@ -13,33 +13,39 @@ DESCRIPTION
     Without an argument, errmax() returns the current value of an
     internal variable errmax.  Calling errmax(num) returns this value
     but then resets its value to num.  Execution is aborted if
-    evaluation of an error value if this makes errcount > errmax.
-    An error message displays the errno for the error.
+    evaluation of an error value if this makes errcount > errmax
+    and errmax is >= 0.
+
+    When errmax is -1, there is no limit on the number of errors.
 
 EXAMPLE
-    > errmax(2)
+    ; errmax(2)
 	0
-    > errcount()
+    ; errcount()
 	0
-    > a = 1/0; b = 2 + ""; c = error(27); d = newerror("alpha");
+    ; a = 1/0; b = 2 + ""; c = error(27); d = newerror("alpha");
     Error 27 caused errcount to exceed errmax
 
-    > print c, d
+    ## Here global variables c and d were created when compiling the line
+    ## but execution was aborted before the intended assignments to c and d.
+
+    ; print c, d
     0 0
 
-    Here global variables c and d were created when compiling the line
-    but execution was aborted before the intended assignments to c and d.
+    ; errmax(-1)
+	2
 
 LIMITS
-    0 <= num < 2^32
+    -1 <= num <= 2147483647
