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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The following macro is useful when writing new macros (the '!' is
     the macro name):
 
          ! := Meta Message
 
     With this definition you can place an exclamation point in your
     macros wherever you want a screen update. If you also want to
     display a status-bar message at the time of the update, use the
     phrase:
 
          ... arg "<text of message>" ! ...
