 +This call outputs the message in a buffer passed by a caller to the specified handle. The function formats the buffer to prevent words from wrapping if displayed to a screen.
 +
 +==Syntax==
 + DosPutMessage (FileHandle, MessageLength, MessageBuffer) 
 +
 +==Parameters==
 +;FileHandle (USHORT) - input : Handle of the output file or device.
 +;MessageLength (USHORT) - input : Length of the message to be output.
 +;MessageBuffer (PCHAR) - input : Address of the buffer that contains the returned message.
 +
 +==Return Code==
 + rc (USHORT) - return
 +Return code descriptions are:
 +* 0   NO_ERROR
 +* 6   ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
 +* 19  ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT
 +* 321 ERROR_MR_UN_PERFORM
 +
 +==Remarks==
 +Screen width is assumed to be 80 characters. The DosPutMessage call counts a CR/LF in the 80 characters that it tries to write to the screen. If a word extends past column 78, it is put on the next line. DosPutMessage assumes the starting cursor position is column one when handling a word wrap.
 +
 +If the last character to be positioned on a line is a double-byte character that would be bisected, the rule above ensures that the character is not bisected.
 +
 +==Example Code==
