Say you have a line command pending and you issue a FIND command
The resulting message says "+Multiple messages were triggered, press F1 (Help) to see them"
Leaving aside that F1 may not be mapped to "HELP", the HELP command does not display both messages.
If you do enter HELP in the above scenario, you only get the 'Pending line command' message.
SPFLite does not show you the message raised by the FIND command.

Can I be cheeky and tag a suggestion to this post?
The colour of the error messages is set by OPTIONS SCREEN.
I changed mine to yellow on a red background to make them more visible and it works well.
But all messages, informational or warning/error, appear with a red background.
The options SCREEN panel allows for BG1 and BG2 colours.
What do you think about using BG2 for 'informational' (RC=0) message and BG1 for warning/error (RC>0) messages?
If you agree, I recommend the following Documentation changes

Action: Replace Note: Some of these entries may never actually use the BG2 entry.
with For entries where banding does not apply, the BG2 setting can be used to enhance the display.
For "FM Quick Launch Bar", the BG2 entry can be used to highlite the current selection.
For "Error Messages", the BG2 entry can be used to specify a different background for 'Informational' messages.
