<description of delay>

XEDIT is holding the message lines until it redisplays the screen so
that the messages can be displayed on the screen's MSGLINEs.

The SET MSGLINE command determines how large this "buffer" is, and how
many messages must be "buffered" before XEDIT will give up on holding
them for the next screen refresh, and go ahead and display them "line-
at-a-time."

>when expected?

SET MSGLINE OFF will disable this feature.
