ROUTINE: EYELINKmessage
PURPOSE:
  uses int eyemsg_printf(char *fmt, ...)
  This sends a text message to the Eyelink tracker, which
  timestamps it and writes it to the EDF data file. Messages
  are useful for recording trail conditions, subject responses.
  or the time of important events. This function is used with
  the same formatting methods as printf(), allowing numbers to be
  included. Avoid"\n" at end of messages.
  RETURNS: 0 if OK, else errorcode. */
