 Message mode configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 For each attached workstation, the file server reserves a 55 byte message
 buffer in which it stores messages bound for that workstation. Messages can
 originate from the file server itself or from other workstations. Only a
 message from the file server can overwrite a message stored in the file
 server.s buffer. The NOVLIB functions WSMessageModeSet() and WSMessageGet()
 enable your program to control the way in which messages are stored at, and
 sent from, the file server. The settings for broadcast mode are 0 through
 3, defined as follows:
 In mode 0 (default mode), the server stores both user and server messages
 intended for a workstation. The shell automatically displays each message.
 In mode 1, the server stores server messages but discards user messages
 intended for a workstation. The shell automatically displays each server
 message.
 In mode 2, the server stores server messages but discards user messages
 intended for a workstation. The shell does not automatically display each
 server message. However, your programs can poll for and retrieve the most
 recently stored message by calling WSMessageGet().

 In mode 3, the server stores both user and server messages intended for a
 workstation. The shell does not automatically display either message.
 However, your programs can poll for and retrieve the most recently stored
 message by calling WSMessageGet().
