Putting Stuff Before the Message Box

[Peter Brigham MD]

I think this is a bug in the way the messagebox is implemented. The  
messagebox is a very tricky thing -- lots going on behind the curtain,  
re handling things like "this stack," the message path, etc. It  
appears that they made it easy to put things "after msg" but not  
"before msg." Others may know more about the details of this.
