/* Each string requires its own positioning information, as explained
** in the manual.  Hex notation has been used to specify the positions of
** the text. Hex numbers start with a backslash, an "x" and the characters
** that make up the number.
**
** Each line needs 2 bytes of X position, and 1 byte of Y position.
**   In our 1st line: x = \x00\xF0 (2 bytes) and y = \x14 (1 byte)
**   In our 2nd line: x = \x00\xA0 (2 bytes) and y = \x24 (1 byte)
** Each line is null terminated plus a continuation character (0=done).
** This example assumes that the complier will concatenate adjacent
** strings into a single string with no extra NULLs.  The compiler does
** add the terminating NULL at the end of the entire string...The entire
** alert must end in TWO NULLs, one for the end of the string, and one
** for the NULL continuation character.
