Remarks

The message window is automatically sized. The height of the window corresponds to the number of lines and the width corresponds to the length of the longest line.

We recommend that you always end CONFIRM messages with a question mark. For more information about best practices for end-user messages, see Progress Windows, MESSAGE, ERROR, and CONFIRM Functions.
