Usage

Once connected to the message server group with base.MessageServer.connect(), a program calls the base.MessageServer.send() class method to notify other programs registered to the group.
CALL base.MessageServer.send("f1")

All programs registered to the message server group are notified, including the program which has sent the message. The messages can be treated by the current dialog with a simple ON KEY() interaction block.
