When an application requests the message retriever for text associated with a message number, a test is made to determine if there is a bound message segment with this executable file. If true, each bound message segment is searched for a match with the current session's code-page number.
If a match is made, then the message number is searched for. If it is found, the message will be returned to the caller. Otherwise , the search of remaining bound message segments will continue.
If no match results from a search of all message segments, the message file on the disk is searched. DosGetMessage will access the message file under any of the following conditions:
