I had picked up the (mis?)impression that the difference with adding
"with messages" is that without it the "wait" stays in Rev's internal
even loop, but with it it makes a call to whatever is the current OS
equivalent of "GetNextEvent".
I wouldn't mind being mistaken, though; it's clumsy syntax.
Anyone here know for sure whether the wait command by itself is
sufficient to free up a call to the OS?
