Call from scripts to display information messages.

eg.

Note a message (starts a new line):

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgNote", "test note")
  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgNote", "test note", "yellow") -- yellow text
  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgNote", "test note", "yellow", "white") -- yellow on white

Tell a message in the default text colour (stays on same line):

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgTell", "test tell")
  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgTell", "test tell", "yellow") -- yellow text
  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgTell", "test tell", "yellow", "white") -- yellow on white
  
Clear the message window:

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgClear")

Hide the message window:

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgHide")

Show the message window:

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgShow")
  
Change the message window title:

  CallPlugin ("126d9061f9758498c878a204", "MsgTitle", "Combat text")
