 SET(MESSAGE_ACTION_LEVEL)

 Sets the severity level at which VAXTPU emphasizes completion messages in
 the manner you specify.

 Syntax

 SET (MESSAGE_ACTION_LEVEL, {integer | keyword})

 Parameters

    integer    A value between 0 and 3 specifying the severity level at
               which VAXTPU is to take the action you designate.  The
               default value is 2.  The severity levels and corresponding
               values, in ascending order of severity, are as follows:

                          Value         Severity Level
                          -----         --------------

                            1             Success
                            3             Informational
                            0             Warning
                            2             Error

               VAXTPU performs the action you specify on all completion
               messages at the severity level you designate and on all
               messages of greater severity.

    keyword    The keyword associated with a VAXTPU completion message.
               VAXTPU uses the keyword to determine the severity level of
               the associated completion message and performs the action
               you specify on all completion messages of that severity
               level or greater.

        warning, and error messages in reverse video for 1/2 second, then

        SET (MESSAGE_ACTION_TYPE, REVERSE);
        SET (MESSAGE_ACTION_LEVEL, 3);


    2.  The following statements direct VAXTPU to ring the terminal's bell
        whenever a completion status occurs with a severity equal to or
