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.
