    means for decoding said address-signals and for generating an actuation signal;

    an internal memory for storing received message signals;

    means for displaying an alpha/numeric message of a predetermined length said display having character display means at different lateral locations;

    means responsive to said actuation signal for loading said message signals into said memory; and

    means for reading out said memory, decoding the signals read out from said memory and for driving said display means with the decoded message in such a manner that said message precesses across said display by lateral displacement of a character in the message a number of times to next adjacent character locations, so that the character moves across the display from one side of the display to the other side, whereby long messages for a predetermined recipient may be displayed on a limited length display in a personally portable unit.
