INFORMATION [MESSAGE] string|=string-expression
[NOW [RESPONSE]]
[MESSAGE] string|=string-expression|n
Defines the contents of the message.
string
Defines a string.
=string-expression
Defines a string expression.
n
Defines a message number that corresponds to a message in a
designer message file. The designated file is QKMSGDES.
For more information about message files, see "Messages in
QDESIGN and QUICK" in Chapter 1, "Running PowerHouse," in
the PowerHouse Rules book.

You maintain one source, but multiple message files.  You distribute the
appropriate message file with each installation.
