Stopping a Process

If you don't use 'with messages'  the wait command will halt the current
handler and any messaging activity, such as a user click.

The 'with messages' allows other messages to be sent and received, such as
waiting for a web server to send more data, or an ftp download to keep
working while the user does other activities.
