What do you call this message displayed in the blue box? How can I make one myself and customize it? I'm trying to make my own boot screen and would REALLY appreciate what it's called and how to do it. I've been searching for a couple a days to no avail...

Thank you so much.

create a language file.
You will see the message in there.
(config -wl AAA)
where AAA is the fullpath to a (new) file

Okay I got it. I have it open in notepad and it's not making sense to me. Do I need to use a program to view it properly or do I have to use it in dosbox?
EDIT:
Tried to make sense of it and copied and pasted some of it. It kind of half works, 🤣.

starting to look good.
Keep on messing with the file and you will figure it out.
You can use notepad or any other editor.

I think they call it a `window`

~ At least it can do black and white~
