{
{   The purpose of this request is to format a message according to a template
{ for  that  message.   The  template  consists of message text and formatting
{ codes that direct the formatting  process.   All  of  the  formatting  codes
{ available  for  status messages are also available to the messages processed
{ by this request.  Parameters to be substituted into the message are supplied
{ via  an  array of pointers to strings, each string representing a particular
{ message parameter.
{
{   The    message    is   returned   in   a   sequence   which   contains   a
{ ost$status_message_line_count followed by that  many  message  lines.   Each
{ message line consists of a ost$status_message_line_size followed by a string
{ of that size.  These lines can be written to  a  file  via  the  appropriate
{ interfaces.   Each  line begins with a space character to serve as a "format
{ effector" in the event the formatted message is written to a list file.

{
{ MESSAGE_TEMPLATE: (input) This parameter  specifies  the  template  for  the

{
{ MESSAGE_PARAMETERS: (input) This parameter specifies the items of text to be

{       formatting codes in the message template.  If  NIL  is  specified  for
{       this  parameter,  all  message  parameters are considerred to be null.
{       If NIL is specified for any  particular  element  of  the  array,  the
{       corresponding message parameter is considerred to be null.
{
{ MAX_MESSAGE_LINE:  (input)  This  parameter  specifies the maximum number of
{       characters that can be placed in a line produced by this request.  The
{       message  formatter  will try to "break" long lines at a delimiter; but
{       if this cannot be done, two dots will be placed  at  the  end  of  the
{       "broken" line to mark its continuation.
{
{ MESSAGE:  (output)  This parameter specifies the container for the formatted
{       message.
