Browse Lookups

[Fairlight]

1) Before your lookup, do a SHOW (or other NON-blocking) text display.

2) Set an increment counter to zero.

3) Every time that code block is executed, increment your counter.  If you
want to handle it in multiples of 'x', do the calculation to determine if
you're on that multiple (of, say...100 or 1000).

4) Every time it's time to print the message, update it with the
incremented counter.

5) After the lookup is complete, take down or otherwise paint over your
text display.

6) Profit.
