Customizing PowerHouse Web Messages

[Bateman, Peter]

Hi All:

   I am using PowerHouse Web 8.40G on OpenVMS.
  Some of our users tend to ignore PowerHouse Web messages.
  We would like to use stronger language.
  Instead of just 'Too many characters for field'.
We would like '*** Error ***  too many characters for field; re-enter please!"
With Quick  I would create my own QKMSG file.
If I create a QKMSG file  how can I get PowerHouse Web to look at?
 Another approach would be to modify the HTML
Displaying "*** Error ***" + PH_MSG + "; re-enter please!"
The problem with this is that if PH_MSG is blank ( i.e nothing is wrong ) then you get
 "*** Error *** ; re-enter please!"
So one would need a script to test the value of PH_MSG. Has anyone tried this?
By the way, I have stopped the "too many characters for field' message by inserting the maxlength attribute into the
HTML  input field definition. Now the web page refuses to accept any more characters than that which is allowed on
the QDESIGN field.
