| We use the function SetMessage. The first parameter, "Messages", will always stay the same so long as you both shall live. The second parameter, "Popup1", is the name of the Entry I told you to keep in mind that we used earlier. It's subject to change. The last parameter is a value. It stands for how long the message is to be displayed. By using 0, it estimates on how long the message is and makes a decent pause so you can read it. However you can put your own values in. And that's it! Enjoy using as many messages as you want. | We use the function SetMessage. The first parameter, "Messages", will always stay the same so long as you both shall live.
