MESSAGEBOX

Synopsis
MESSAGEBOX title message
Description

Displays a dialog box with title in the title bar and message as the message. The dialog has an "OK" and a "Cancel" button. Processing does not continue until the user clicks one of these buttons. The commander window is also disabled until messagebox is dismissed. If the user presses "OK", then processing continues. If the user presses "Cancel", then processing is halted, as if by the HALT command.

Both the title and message inputs must be lists or words.

The message input is truncated according to the current values of PRINTWIDTHLIMIT and PRINTDEPTHLIMIT. The message box is automatically sized to fit message. The message is not word-wrapped, so if you have a long message, you may want to put in some line breaks.

Example
MESSAGEBOX [This is the title] [This is the message.  Press OK.]
