    Abstract: A method is used in a selective call receiver (SCR) (100) for displaying information messages received by the SCR on a multiline display (124) of the SCR. According to the method, a plurality of information messages is received (405), wherein each of the plurality of information messages has an identifiable source. An operator selection (415) of a paramount source is determined.
