Answer 1

If you're on version 10.2b+ you might be able to use the STOP-AFTER clause on a do/for/repeat block to control this.

Not sure as I don't have that version myself to try.

BTW. Always put your version on a question as it can make a difference to the options available.

Answer 2

How to do this "another way":

DEFINE FRAME f-message
      "This is your message"
      WITH CENTERED
      OVERLAY
      .


DO ON ENDKEY UNDO, LEAVE:

VIEW FRAME f-message.

PAUSE 14 NO-MESSAGE.

HIDE FRAME f-message.

END.

In ChUi, you can't.
