 17 The Message Line
 *******************
 
 'Screen' displays informational messages and other diagnostics in a
 "message line" at the bottom of the screen.  If your terminal has a
 status line defined in its termcap, screen will use this for displaying
 its messages, otherwise the last line of the screen will be temporarily
 overwritten and output will be momentarily interrupted.  The message
 line is automatically removed after a few seconds delay, but it can also
 be removed early (on terminals without a status line) by beginning to
 type.
