The Message Line is an incredibly simple yet powerful tool for outputting strings and values on the screen. Displaying the message line only requires a single line of code.

* "This line of text will be displayed on the Message Line!"

By default, the message line command causes the text to appear centered on the bottom row, while the forground color of the text is animated by cycling through various colors of the palette. Also, the message line will only be displayed for a short period, unless a new message is created. We can adjust these defaults with a few commands and some special formatting.

set message row # Sets the row in which the message line appears in
set mesg column # Sets the column in which the message line appears in, and disables auto-centering
