SYNTAX            : ARG :M STRING TERM

RESULTING ARGUMENT: None

FUNCTION          : The characters immediately following the command, up to
                    (not including) the first ESC or RETURN encountered,
                    are shown in the status display.

ARGUMENT (7.0)    :  1: display as an error message
                  : -1: display as an informational message
                    Not all platforms make the distinction (monochrome Unix
                    doesn't), in which case the argument is still allowed
                    but has no effect. On a Unix-platform which does support
                    it (and under Windows), informational messages will be
                    shown yellow on green, and error-messages yellow on red.
                    The Amiga shows black on white for informational, and
                    red on white for error-messages.

DEFAULT           : 1

EXAMPLE           : :m Hello, RETURN :m world ESC
                    Will show the generic Unix welcome-message split over
                    two lines.

NOTE 1            : The message-string is truncated to the width of the
                    status display for interactive sessions.

NOTE 2            : Consecutive :M-commands will cause the status display
                    to scroll up.

NOTE 3            : To clear the status display completely (i.e. all lines)
                    an empty string may be used.
