Message box mild oddity

Colin:

On my machine, the wait time for the "send" command is about 50% effective if 
I wait 7 ticks. Perfect with 9, no go with 5.

Simply inserting a wait command line in lieu of the "send" line does nothing 
at all. The entire text is selected after whatever interval is specified. So 
why does the internal wait in the send command differ from a separate wait 
command? Sending the message somehow is different than simply executing the next 
line, just like coming from outside the field somehow seems to work just fine.
