Not speaking as an authority, just from my own experience
"exit xyz" exits the current handler, and allows a calling handler to
continue executing, if present
"exit to top" exits and stops executing the current handler and any
calling handler if present; any pending messages will be sent
"send xyz to me in 200 millisecs" allows other messages/events to take
place
"wait until <condition> with messages" allows other messages/events to
take place (in what I think of as being an ultra-tight repeat loop)
If you want to cancel a message that has been sent in time, you can:
1) grab the id upon sending the message to be canceled later
2) do a "repeat for each" in the pending messages to find the line
containing the message name and cancel it
3) cancel all the pendingMessages
Hope this helps.
