In error, I said...

<There is also a "warnuser" in MPEX.>

(I hate when that happens.)

Actually, we have a command file that we 'USE' within MPEX that is
called "WARNUSER.  It sends the entire text in a highlighted bar at
the bottom of the screen and will wait for the user to press the
return key.


SETVAR USERSET " "
SETVAR MESSAGE " "
INPUT USERSET;PROMPT="Enter userset: ";wait=120
INPUT MESSAGE;PROMPT="Enter message (40 char max): ";wait=120
IF  USERSET <> " " &
AND MESSAGE <> " "
  WARNF !USERSET; !HPTIMEF !MESSAGE (Press RETURN to clear)
  WARN !USERSET; $$
ENDIF
