Never Before Seen Error Message

I was creating an overhead map using SS1 Fantasy B and when I put in the Forest, Mixed cluster of trees I got three interesting error messages (the second message about vegetation happened twice). Does anyone know anything about these?
Update: I just tried to use the erase function, and then the resize/move command. I'm not able to select anything. I click and try to make the box like normal to select the edge of something but the command doesn't function. I tried saving and hoped that would work but it's not......is this a byproduct of these error messages?

Did you type in the SELBYD command?
To elaborate a little on Quenten's statement, the wall of text at the bottom of that message suggests typing in SELBYD.
This error message used to be one of the most common questions about the software when the message was just the first couple of lines of text. The wall of text at the bottom is an example of a programmer trying to be helpful by adding a LOT of explanation to a rather cryptic error message without much consideration to the fact that people usually stop reading errors about the second line of text.
Do I just type in SELBYD? I read that but was unsure if it was that simple and not sure why this pop-up was happening. I'll give that a try the next time I see it.
Yes, just type in SELBYD.
The text on the bottom half of the message is a summary of about ten forum discussions in the months leading up to the software change.
