Yet another is it possible message...

I'm running in a terminal emulator window under X11 and I want to tell
mush "I'm done for now, go update things then come back when there's new
mail for me to look at." After that I iconify the window and go check it
again when my mailwatching window changes images by which time the
following await command should have finished, and mush should be back in
screen mode. Actually, what I probably want is an X11 version of the
SunTools mode (I've never seen the tools mode, but it sounds neat).

What I'm trying to do is this:
   bind = macro "[update][line-mode]await\n[sort-reverse]d[first-msg]"

Questions:
  -Is it possible to shut off curses-mode screen updates by a command
   in a macro?

  -It seems the "[update]" part refreshes the screen regardless of
   whether or not an update was requested/done...doesn't seem it really
   needs to do so.

  -Is it possible to avoid getting dumped into "...continue..." mode?
   I've got another one that is similar, but doesn't leave me there:
      bind @ macro "[sort-reverse]d[first-msg]"
