- The msg module provides fairly simple message lookup facility.
-
- Summary:
- PROCmsg_load(file$) Load a message file
- FNmsg(key$) Look up a message, return "" if not found
- FNmsgd(key$,default$) Look up a message, return default if not found
-
- Each line of
- a message file is of the form
-
- <key>:<value>
-
- where <key> can be any text, but is conventionally two tokens separated by a
- dot. A typical use is in the interactive help supplied by the dlg module,
- which uses entries of the form:
-
- <windowname>.<gadgetname>:<help text>
-
- though I haven't actually provided any help texts in the alpha version of
- !NetConfig.
-
- Multiple message files may be loaded. The most recently loaded file is
- searched first, so you can override standard messages by loading another file
- later.
-
- Because it's implemented in BASIC, the maximum line length allowed is 255
- characters.
