Hi Jerry,
The "with messages" clause makes a repeat loop non-blocking. This allows
you to run multiple handlers with repeat statements simultaneously. I
add the wait with messages command at the end of the loop to give the
engine more time to update the GUI. Particularly in older versions of
LiveCode, it makes a huge difference.
E.g. try setting the thumbPos of a progress bar using a repeat loop in
LC 5. Without "wait", you may not even see that the progress bar updates
until you reach the end of the loop.

In a nice example from Mark S., I see the line below. I've never seen the "with
messages" part on the end of a repeat statement. I tried it, and it compiles and
runs without complaint. What does it do, allow messages at the end of each repeat? I
don't see it in the dictionary. I'm running LC Community 6.6.1 .
