Re: Error Message Subfile in a Window

["David Turnidge" <daveturnidge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you. It appears that I had *MSGLIN, since that is default, and I
didn't have *NOMSGLIN.

 I use ACMS for compiling programs - and it takes forever. Um, bit of an
exaggeration there... I started running my program before I got the sfl
message that the compile had been completed. THAT message showed up IN MY
WINDOW, but the message that *I* sent from the program showed up OUTSIDE the
window - So, I think there's got to be something else wrong...

MAJOR ugly formatting... :-(
