MESSage:SHOW?
<QString> is the message and can include any of the characters shown in the
TDS Character Chart in Appendix A as well as characters from the Cyrillic,
Korean, Japanese, and Chinese character sets. The maximum length of the
message is 1000 characters; longer strings are ignored.
The message area is the height and width you have set using the MESSage:BOX
command. The length of the message that fits in the message area depends on the
contents of the message because the width of characters varies.
If the message exceeds the limits of the message box, either horizontally or
vertically, the portion of the message that exceeds the limits will not be
displayed. The message string itself is not altered. The entire message can be
returned as a query response regardless of what is displayed in the message box.
The message is left-justified, and is displayed on a single line starting with the
top most line in the window. A new line character can be embedded in the string
to position the message on multiple lines. You can also use white space and tab
characters to position the message within a line. Text which does not fit within
the message box is truncated. Defining a message box text string erases any
previously displayed text within the message box.
