I'll show you how to empty the pendingMessages, but you probably don't 
even want to do that.  In the Revolution development environment, 
beyond that, you don't want to remove Revolution messages.

The message ID is available in "the result" right after you send.  Save 
that away.  When you want to stop the timer, cancel that.

If you really want to cancel all (except Revolution messages), try this 
(off the top of my head):

repeat for each line msgLine in the pendingMessages
    if char 1 to 3 of item 3 of msgLine != "rev" then cancel item 1 of 
msgLine
end repeat

Yes.  Even if it did.

I keep hoping to get back to my "send primer" and make that available.  
RSN.
