.SH DESCRIPTION
Sends a message to an object and returns the answer it has generated.
Remember that the first parameter is the dialog object (not a whole
array) that you wish to send the message to. For example, to make the
second object in a dialog draw itself, you might write:

.nf
   object_message(&dialog[1], MSG_DRAW, 0);
   
.fi
The function will take care of scaring and unscaring the mouse if the
message is MSG_DRAW.
