Notes
We recommend setting individual message attributes such as Display
Message on What Line and Scroll Message before typing in the words of
the message. This allows you to verify the placement of characters as you
type them.
If Line Usage is other than All Lines , then the display line on the DL40
does not necessarily correspond to the cursor row value shown on the
message editing window during editing.
If the message number you have assigned is already being used for an
existing message, the software will display a warning message. You can then
choose between cancelling the creation or editing the existing message.
If adding new messages would exceed the capacity of your DL40, the
software will display a warning message and automatically cancel the create
function.
