Message Buffer

  The MESSAGES buffer stores messages received during your editing session,
  such as status messages from EVE commands or broadcast messages, such as
  MAIL.

  Usage notes:

  o  The message window at the bottom of the screen shows one message line
     at a time. To view the entire MESSAGES buffer, use the following
     command:

        Command: BUFFER MESSAGES

     This puts the message buffer into the current window. To scroll through
     the message buffer, use PREV SCREEN and NEXT SCREEN or other cursor-
     movement commands and keys. To return to the buffer you were editing,
     use SHOW BUFFERS (which lists your buffers).

  o  If you are in the MESSAGES buffer, you can write out your messages to a
     file, typically to save compiler messages for debugging purposes or to
     send the exact text of an error message to your system manager. For
     example, the following command writes out your messages to a file named
     MESSAGES.LIS:

        Command: WRITE FILE messages.lis

  o  Using multiple windows, you can view the MESSAGES buffer in one window
     while you compile TPU procedures in a buffer in another window. This
     makes it easier to read compiler messages.

     1.  Put your TPU procedures into an EVE buffer     +-------------+
         ---for example:                                |[] cursor    |
                                                        |             |
            Command: GET FILE procs.tpu                 |             |
                                                        | procs.tpu   |
                                                        +-------------+
     2.  Use two windows, and put the MESSAGES
         buffer into the new window:                    +-------------+
                                                        | procs.tpu   |
            Command: TWO WINDOWS                        |_____________|
            Command: BUFFER MESSAGES                    |             |
                                                        |[] MESSAGES  |
                                                        +-------------+
     3.  Go to the previous window and compile the
         procedures.  Compiler messages appears in      +-------------+
         the other window:                              |[] procs.tpu |
                                                        |_____________|
            Command: OTHER WINDOW                       |             |
            Command: EXTEND ALL                         |   MESSAGES  |
                                                        +-------------+
