The two message windows represent the two 20-character

window appears in the CMDN display above the text in the right
message window.
Move the cursor between the Line, Panel, and Zone windows by
pressing the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys. Use the UP and DOWN
arrow keys to scroll through the options shown in the window until the
desired parameter is displayed. The desired values can also be made via
the keyboard or numeric pad. Press ENTER to accept a single-digit
entry. Entering the second digit of a two digit number automatically
moves the cursor to the next window.
When the desired line Panel and Zone values are displayed, press the
RIGHT arrow key to jump to the first segment of the message box.
Type in the zone message. The cursor will automatically jump from the
first message segment window (top line on the display) to the second
message segment window (bottom line on the display).The TAB key
may also be used to jump to the second message window. Press TAB to
enter the message and automatically position the cursor back at the
zone window, ready to select the next Line, Panel, and Zone.
The total number of zone messages entered is shown on the screen
along with an arbitrary number for each message. This number shows
the messages position in a file, and may change when the file is
automatically sorted when the message entry screen is saved to a file.
Message editing tools are described in the Editing Tools section.
