The message is a counted string with the count byte at location 0C7AF, and the string from 0C7B0 to 0C7DF. (Note that your message cannot be any longer the the original - which is 02F bytes [47 in decimal]). Also note that the above was taken from Version 4.5 (if you are running a different version - they may have changed, but you should be able to find them with DUMP and PATCH).
