You can also use the attached vbscript to pop up a message box. Just run it
from a command line the way you would msg.exe. The only difference from the
msg.exe program is that if the message contains spaces, it must be enclosed
in quotation marks.

It should run under w2k and XP. I don't remember if 98 comes with vbscript support.
