   Some commands display informative messages in the echo area.  These
-messages look much like error messages, but they are not announced with
-a beep and do not throw away input.  Sometimes the message tells you
-what the command has done, when this is not obvious from looking at the
-text being edited.  Sometimes the sole purpose of a command is to show
-you a message giving you specific information---for example, @kbd{C-x =}
-displays a message describing the character position of point in the text
-and its current column in the window.  Commands that take a long time
-often display messages ending in @samp{...} while they are working, and
-add @samp{done} at the end when they are finished.
