+# a protocol file as part of executing a test sequence
+# with a dash line that is fixed on 80 characters.

+# multi line messages that exceed 80 or if an 80 char
+# line is desired for short messages.
+#
+# Usage:
+#    Add the following to any *.test file:
+#      :
+#    set @message="This is a message example";
+#    --source include/show_msg80.inc
+#      :
