! Description:
! ------------
! Handling of the different kinds of messages.
! Meaning of formal parameters:
! requested_action: 0 - continue, 1 - abort by stop, 2 - abort by mpi_abort
! message_level: 0 - informative, 1 - warning, 2 - error
! output_on_pe: -1 - all, else - output on specified PE
! file_id: 6 - stdout (*)
! flush: 0 - no action, 1 - flush the respective output buffer
