Multiple button presses roGridScreen

I have a roGridScreen that leads to a roSpringboardScreen. If press the "OK" button multiple times (while on the grid screen), the springboard screen is shown, however, when I try to go back to the grid screen, the app immediately diverts back to the springboard screen as many times as I pressed the "OK" button. How can this behavior be avoided? Thanks.

    Best is to launch the springboard immediately on keypress so the user doesn't feel like they are hitting "OK" and nothing is happening.

    Beyond that, I think you can "drain" the message port:

    while port.getmessage() ="roGridScreenEvent" 
    end while

    Couple of bugs there - both with insidious potential, it seems to me:
    while type(port.PeekMessage()) = "roGridScreenEvent":
        port.GetMessage()
    end while
