We'd print it out, so we could find the errors quickly (much easier than repeatedly scrolling through the tiny window of text you see on the screen), pencil in all the corrections, go back and type them in. Run it, find it still errors. Then we'd ring up the shop and ask for the errata for page 3 of whichever book, and they'd read it over the phone to us.
