"Send in time". Hmmm So the line "put start" is actually delayed until after the wait command, er, starts, and gets stuck there?
And if one uses "wait with messages" that stuck command can worm its way out and back into play? So then LC knows when the message box is about to be the target, and therefore acts differently than with any other container. The actual already executed command "put" is left stranded, unrequited, because the next line in sequence, not yet executed, has foreknowledge that the upcoming target is the message box, and is girding itself to access it?? Odd.

I am switching between the forum discussion about this and here. The plain old wait command, (without "with messages") works fine when the target field is on another stack. So it not the fact that the field is not "local". There is something about the message box itself, ostensibly just a stack, that matters. This is not the first time that msg has been caught acting oddly. I am actually gratified to know that LC works "normally", as long as msg is not in the mix.
