Canceling pending messages

[Jim Hurley]

The following script is recommended in the Rev.  web site as 
preferable to the use of the idle message:

on showPlayerCurrentTime
put the currentTime of player "My Player" into field "Player Progress"
send "showPlayerCurrentTime" to me in 500 milliseconds
end showPlayerCurrentTime


In this way, "showPlayerCuttentTime is repeated every  500 milliseconds.

My question is: How would one  stop this cycle? How  does one 
interrupt the send routine? What part of the "pendingmessages" does 
one "cancel"?

With the  above handler running I get find two lines in the pending 
messages as follows:

6230,1010150413.003374,mouseUp,button id 1003 of card id 1002 of 
stack "Untitled 1"

6231,1010150412.65895,revScriptEdit,button id 1003 of card id 1002 of 
stack "/Macintosh HD/Revolution-1.1.1-Classic-B1/components/global 
environment/revlibrary.rev"

Furthermore the two leading items in each line (6230 and 6231) change 
with time.
