Can you please tell me what the RETRY reply code means?

In particular, I would like to know what to do if I receive this
reply code after attempting to Send to a remote team.  Does RETRY
indicate the remote team has died, or does it just mean the kernel
had to try several times before successfully sending the message?
I.e. is RETRY a serious error or merely an informative warning?
Should I code all routines that do Sends the same way as the Read
function in Section B.7 of the V-system 6.0 Reference Manual?

Thanks for your help,

Hugh Bawtree
