I think the difference is that the LabTalk interpretor looks at everything upto or between a set of ";" as a command. So a blank line gets interpretted, but nothing happens. (Except a time penalty for the interpretter to figure out that it's not supposed to do anything.)
So...
delete MyVar; is 1 command to interpret
delete MyVar; is 2 commands to interpret - Delete and do nothing.
Mike, I think the kbase article is using the leading ";" as time delay to allow the window to be completely drawn before any real commands get executed.
However, this is all speculation.

I'm not sure if this will help, but it might have something to do with this KB article.
