Abstract
A selective call receiver is provided that is capable of receiving a transmitted fragmented message and displaying the fragmented message in at least two scripts. The transmitted fragmented message includes a plurality of sequentially ordered message packets each comprising an address and message data, at least one of the message packets having a script select character within the message data. The fragmented message is received by a receiver and passed to a circuit for displaying the fragmented message in the scripts, such that a first portion of the fragmented message is displayed in one of the scripts and a second portion of the fragmented message subsequent to the script select character is displayed in another of the scripts. A retrieval circuit is capable of retrieving a garbled message fragment if a sequentially prior message fragment containing the script select character is missing from the fragmented message. The retrieval circuit preferably includes an error indicator for providing a missing fragment signal indicative of the prior message fragment being missing, and a script select circuit for displaying the garbled message fragment in a selected one of the scripts.
