 # xmessage
 
+The xmessage program displays a window containing a message from the command line, a file, or standard input.
+Along the lower edge of the message is row of buttons; clicking the left mouse button on any of these buttons will cause xmessage to exit.
+Which button was pressed is returned in the exit status and, optionally, by writing the label of the button to standard output.
+
+The program is typically used by shell scripts to display information to the user or to ask the user to make a choice.
+
+Unless a size is specified, xmessage sizes itself to fit the message, up to a maximum size.
+If the message is too big for the window, xmessage will display scroll bars.
