You may find it necessary to display an Alert on your screen, ie: car headlights

|
|
under Tools/Alert.
|
|
|
|
`Alert text` Enter the message you want displayed in this box.
|
|
|
|
`Parameter` This box is used for words you want to insert into the alert text.
|
|
|
|
You add the Parameter text into the alert text using “<>” (without quotations).
|
|
Anywhere in the Alert text that you add these two symbols, <> side by side, will
|
|
insert any text you have in the parameter box into the Alert message.

are on.
