 twTextMsg(InMsg, Header, Wait, wT, wL, wB, wR,;
           wColor, wSType, wFType )
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Displays a string in a window. The string is wrapped to fit into
     the window. Various exit methods are allowed.  The colour is
     defined in twMsgInit() and the shadow 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.
                  Such strings could be held, for instance, in memo
                  fields.

     Header - 'C' String to use for the title. In this
              version, the title is centered on the top
              line of the window.

     Wait   - 'N'  0 - Wait for a key press then restore the underlying
                       screen.

                  -1 - Leave the message on the screen and free the
                       stack allocation space.

                  -2 - Leave the message on the screen but keep it on
                       the stack to be released later with twMsgEnd().

                   n - Wait 'n' seconds or until a key is pressed, then
                       restore the underlying screen.

                   Wait defaults to 0.

     wT, wL
     wB, wR - 'N' Screen Coordinates. The defaults are 3,20,13,60.

     wColor - 'C' Clipper Colour String. Text and frame are displayed
                  in the Clipper standard colour and the title in the
                  enhanced colour. This parameter defaults to the value
                  held in the initialization array for twMsgInit().

     wSType  - 'N' TSDWIN shadow type. Defaults to the shadow type for
                  the currently active window.

     wFType  - 'N' TSDWIN frame type. Defaults to the frame type for the
                  currently active window.

       Return:

     The exit key or 0.

       Example:

     twTextMsg( "Trying a Text Message. With this one "+;
                "we have to have the thing do a word "+;
                "wrap to put it into the box.",,,;
                5, 5, 15, 45,, 1, 4 )

     Display the string in a window with screen coordinates 5,5,15,45
     with no title, shadow type 1, frame type 4 and wait for a key press
     before proceeding.
