I know it is a hack, but you can use a global and save/restore it's
state when needed...
In case we had some nifty function, a cousin of the functiona
'variableNames' that could access all the current variables in memory
and their context, we could then freeze the engine state to some
container and restore it or bits of it as we needed them.
This alone would give us means to create:
* continuations. (it would help you to freeze a message from
pendingMessage and restore it later)
* co-routines. (so we could have sort of cooperative threading in a
single thread engine)

One problem here is that any parameters sent with the message will

I don't think that lock messages will affect pending messages. Here's
an approach I've used that works pretty well, so long as you don't
have
really complex messaging needs:
on PausePending pMsg
global gPendingMessages
put the pendingMessages into tPending
if (pMsg <> "") and (pMsg <> "all") then filter tPending with
"*," &
pMsg & ",*"
put tPending into gPendingMessages
repeat for each line tMsg in tPending
cancel item 1 of tMsg
end repeat
end PausePending
on ResumePending pMsg
global gPendingMessages
put gPendingMessages into tPending
if (pMsg <> "") and (pMsg <> "all") then
filter tPending with "*," & pMsg & ",*"
filter gPendingMessages without "*," & pMsg & ",*"
else
delete global gPendingMessages
end if
-- Resend the messages
repeat for each line tLine in tPending
put item 3 of tLine into tCmd
put item 4 of tLine into tTarget
do "send" && quote & tCmd & quote && "to" && tTarget
end repeat
end ResumePending
