PARAM tags and then ifURL parameter is specified it obtains messages from 
this location. Messages defined as parameters must be enumerated from 0 
without missed numbers. One can define as many messages as required. Messages 
in text file are in the same format as messages values in param tag. Each row
in text file(or text output of CGI script) corresponds to one message.
