ahead.
Some commands display informative messages in the echo area. These
messages look much like error messages, but they are not announced with
a beep and do not throw away input. Sometimes the message tells you
what the command has done, when this is not obvious from looking at the
text being edited. Sometimes the sole purpose of a command is to show
you a message giving you specific information---for example, @kbd{C-x =}
displays a message describing the character position of point in the text
and its current column in the window. Commands that take a long time
often display messages ending in @samp{...} while they are working, and
add @samp{done} at the end when they are finished.
