Is my interpretation of the following two commands correct?

1. wait for messages

    Will pause the current handler and wait for messages until the cows come
home. Any message will do - even a mouse move.

2. wait for 30 ticks with messages

    Just like (1) but will continue after 30 ticks regardless of whether or
not there were messages.
