get-message will create a &lt;string&gt; from &lt;message&gt; which must have been created with <a href='https://golf-lang.com/new-message.html'>new-message</a>. &lt;string&gt; can then be used elsewhere, for instance sent with a remote call (see <a href='https://golf-lang.com/run-remote.html'>run-remote</a>), written to a file etc.<br/>
<br/>
Once get-message is called, &lt;message&gt; is initialized as if it was just created with <a href='https://golf-lang.com/new-message.html'>new-message</a> without the "from" clause.<br/>
