Console Messages: - Messages Have Two Parts

This document discusses console messages and provides instructions on modifying message deletion parameters. It contains the following key points: 1. Console messages have two parts - a message text that provides information or describes errors, and a message ID that includes a prefix, serial number, and code. 2. Action messages require operator response, are highlighted, and start with * or @. Informational messages do not require action and can be deleted. 3. The K S command displays current message deletion settings, while the K S,DEL command modifies these settings to control how messages are rolled or deleted from the console display.
