Controlling Max 6 with Messages - same messages as Max 5?

Hello
Could someone at Cycling74 confirm that all the messages that you can send to max 6 via message box with semicolon (;) followed by the word max - is all the same as with version 5.
https://cycling74.com/docs/max5/vignettes/core/messages_to_max.html
The documentation online is contained in the Max 5 folder - I'm curious if there are new messages for new functions in Max 6.

The default value is 2." Question: does the relate/equate to any of the variables described in Max 6 Sceduler Prefs? The word setsleep, followed by a number, sets the time between calls to get the next system event, in 60ths of a second. The default value is 2.
