DESCRIPTION
	This tool is intended to be used by a _PreInstall_, _PostInstall_, 
	or _DEINSTALL_ script to display an informational message to the user. 
	The calling routine may indicate the maximum number of characters in 
	the user's typed response. The default, if not specified, is 40 
	characters. A prompt is displayed in a window, and the user must 
	respond to the prompt and then click on the _OK_ button to continue.  
	The _status_ environment variable is set to -1 if an error occurs 
	(for example, a window could not be displayed) or to 0 if the message 
	displays correctly. The user's response is written as a character string
	to _stdout_ in the form:

		n
		string

	where _n_ is the number of characters in the string that follows.
	If _n_ is 0, the user entered a null response and no string follows.

NOTES
	There are no notes.
