  MESSAGE

The MESSAGE command allows user messages to be included in interactive macros. Lines of text are defined and finished with the user escape ($\backslash$$\backslash$). The message will appear on the graphics system. This is normally used within macros.

Here is a very simple example of the MESSAGE command:

Main menu: ENTER COMMAND [DEFINE VARIABLE]:message
INFO: Enter message text or user escape (\\) to exit
TEXT:
TEXT:Hello World 
TEXT:
TEXT:\\

The line ``Hello World'' will appear in the middle of the graphics screen.
