Re: Changing a message ID in a MSGF

[Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You would normally use the OVRMSGF command to point to a different 
message file.  If the message is found in the new file, it will be used. 
 If not, the message in the original file will be used.  You can create 
a message file and just put one message in it.
