Visability, ForceRedraw, and Loiter

The example for Visability on page 431 of the programming manual includes the commands ForceRedraw() and Loiter(500).  Should these two always be used when using the Visability command?

ForceRedraw may or may not be needed depending on when you change the Visibility. If you just use the Visibility call and it does what you want, then you don't need ForceRedraw. If your Visibility changes do not appear to take effect until you click on something or otherwise affect the GUI, then add a ForceRedraw to force a screen update.

I'm not sure why the Visibility example includes a call to Loiter. There is no need to pause for .5 seconds after changing visibility.
