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.
