Background
These commands are generally used to annotate a playback script for instructional purposes.

Command Description
Here are the command descriptions.

KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX: Name(...)	ORIGIN	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	MessageBox "message"	Edit Desktop	Pops up a modal dialog box of a automatically determined size based on the message text saying: [eValid Modal Popup] "message" Click OK to Continue [OK] Everything stops pending the user clicking on OK.
STAN	MessageWindow "message" [time [ x y w h ]]	Edit Desktop	Pops up a window containing the "message". If time is specified then the window persists for the specified length of time (in seconds). If in addition the sizes are specified then the window will be of the specified width w and height h at location x y.	Note: The popup window generated by this command is a sub-browser so it accepts HTML in the message text.

Additional Notes
Here are some addition things to keep in mind.

1. The modal dialog popup will be suppressed if you have the Suppress Modal Dialog switch turned on. If you do, you won't actually see the modal show up.
2. The coordinates for the MessageWindow are assumed to be in the visible area of your screen. If you specify values for x and y that are off the screen the command will work but you won't see the message box.
3. The Message Window accepts HTML because it is actually a complete sub-browser. Scrolling is enabled if the HTML supplied is too big for the size specified in the command.
