+ *		    Set: When any message is written to the screen.
+ * msg_nowait	    No extra delay for the last drawn message.
+ *		    Used in normal_cmd() before the mode message is drawn.
+ * emsg_on_display  There was an error message recently.  Indicates that there
+ *		    should be a delay before redrawing.
+ * msg_scroll	    The next message should not overwrite the current one.
+ * msg_scrolled	    How many lines the screen has been scrolled (because of
+ *		    messages).  Used in update_screen() to scroll the screen
+ *		    back.  Incremented each time the screen scrolls a line.
+ * msg_scrolled_ign  TRUE when msg_scrolled is non-zero and msg_puts_attr()
+ *		    writes something without scrolling should not make
+ *		    need_wait_return to be set.  This is a hack to make ":ts"
+ *		    work without an extra prompt.
+ * lines_left	    Number of lines available for messages before the
+ *		    more-prompt is to be given.
+ * need_wait_return TRUE when the hit-return prompt is needed.
+ *		    Reset: After giving the hit-return prompt, when the user
+ *		    has answered some other prompt.
+ *		    Set: When the ruler or typeahead display is overwritten,
+ *		    scrolling the screen for some message.
+ * keep_msg	    Message to be displayed after redrawing the screen, in

+ *		    This is an allocated string or NULL when not used.
