## Display @var{msg} using a message dialog box. 
##
## The message may have multiple lines separated by newline characters
## (@qcode{"\n"}), or it may be a cellstr array with one element for each
## line.  The optional input @var{title} (character string) can be used to
## decorate the dialog caption.
##
## The optional argument @var{icon} selects a dialog icon. 
## It can be one of @qcode{"none"} (default), @qcode{"error"},
## @qcode{"help"}, or @qcode{"warn"}.
##
## The return value is always 1.
