A visual display device (10) coupled to a processor (22), a memory (16, 18) and a counter (14) produces procession of displayed alphanumeric characters until a consecutive sequence of at least four muneric or punctuation characters is displayed, at which time the procession stops prior to any character of the at least four consecutive numeric or punctuation characters processes off a viewable portion of a visual display (12). The procession remains stopped until a user of the visual display device intervenes to cause resumption of procession. The visual display device gradually slows the rate of procession when words of at least five consecutive alphanumeric characters are displayed, and gradually increases the rate of procession when words of at least five consecutive alphanumeric characters are no longer displayed. A selective call receiver (11) includes a receiver (23) and the visual display device (10) to display received wireless messages.
