Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Syntax: void DoMessage( char far *Message );
 
  See:    DoMessageBox, DoMessageBoxHelp, DoStatusBox, PopUpBox,
          ReadChar, ReadCmd
 
     DoMessage writes the <Message> string to the status bar. When
     <Message> is NULL, PWB changes the status bar to the default state.
 
     You can use DoMessage for debugging extensions. For example, call
     this macro at strategic points in the code to show the current
     status:
 
          #ifdef DEBUG
            #define Pause( s ) { DoMessage( s ); ReadChar(); }
          #else
            #define Pause( s )   // Ignore macro
          #endif
