      Nice idea, but it does not work for me.  I just tried it on OS X 
(Carbon vim 6.0) and I recall having this problem on Os 8.x.  It looks 
as though "t" is already part of the default for 'shm', I already have 
'ch' set to 2, and there is plenty of room for the message.  It just 
feels like making me hit the <CR>. :-(

      I get "Hit Enter" on OS X.
