Hmm.  I have never really cared very much, but I think I remember reading 
somewhere that a status message stays until something rewrites line 24 of 
the screen.  Program calls and returns are not in themselves responsible 
for changing the message.

If you want a message left at the bottom of the user's menu (or whatever) 
when the menu (or whatever) is redisplayed, send a completion message to 
the program responsible for that display.  You will not in general know 
the name of that program, and your program may not even know if it is the 
program called directly from the menu.  This is not a problem: just keep 
sending completion messages up the program stack.

HTH.
