Rubbish!  I tested that code before I sent it AND I cut and pasted it in to 
the note.

I tested it on VRM440 with a full message queue and an empty message queue 
and sent it multiple messages each time.  It ignored any existing messages 
in the queue and all the messages I sent were displayed in turn as status 
messages on the display.

Receiving the last message and waiting for the next message is the correct 
way of handling this rather than half-arsed suggestions about using magic 
messages or checking dates and times.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
