//                  text can be overwritten.

// msg_nowait       No extra delay for the last drawn message.
//                  Used in normal_cmd() before the mode message is drawn.
// emsg_on_display  There was an error message recently.  Indicates that there
//                  should be a delay before redrawing.
// msg_scroll       The next message should not overwrite the current one.
// msg_scrolled     How many lines the screen has been scrolled (because of
//                  messages).  Used in update_screen() to scroll the screen
//                  back.  Incremented each time the screen scrolls a line.

// lines_left       Number of lines available for messages before the
//                  more-prompt is to be given.  -1 when not set.
// need_wait_return true when the hit-return prompt is needed.
//                  Reset: After giving the hit-return prompt, when the user
//                  has answered some other prompt.
