Well, the manual is partially correct. As it turns out, ADPRO_RESULT will
rarely, but sometimes, contain some more information in the form of a
descriptive string.

For most commands, the type of error which can occur is fairly limited, while
a complete list of those errors could be large. Those descriptive text
strings would have taken up a lot of space (and memory) for little added
value.

If you're having a particular error which is giving you problems, give us
a call. We're quite supportive of our products' users.
