The dialogue box is also used for listing messages, warnings and errors to the screen. It can be scrolled back and forth (its buffer is 200 lines long) to review earlier messages. The following colours are used:

• Normal messages and prompts Yellow
• Text typed in by you White
• Warning messages and Error messages Red
