     and frame types default to those of the currently active window.

       Arguments:

     InMsg  - 'C' String to be displayed. The string can be any length.
                  It is truncated to fit inside the display window.

                  is fitted to the maximum length.

                  title is centered on the top line of the window.

                        the stack to be released later with twMsgEnd().

                        then restore the underlying screen.
