ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.4) _______________________________________________________________________________ msg '<string>' "message" DESCRIPTION: 'msg' displays <string> in the ce output window. <string> can include any characters and must be enclosed within single quotes. Single quotes withing the string must be escaped. The 'msg' command can be useful within a 'cmdf' command file or as part of a key definition. For example, the last line of a long command file executed via 'cmdf' could be a message to the output window that command file execution is complete. If multiple 'msg' commands appear in a 'cmdf' command file, only the output from the last 'msg' command will be displayed; this is because ce processes the entire command file before updating the display with changes resulting from execution of the command file. You can, however, place the cursor in the command output window and scroll backward to see messages that may have preceded the most recent message. As another example, you could have several sets of key definitions for the function keys F1 through F8. You could assign one of those function keys to print a message indicating which set is currently in use.
