Scott,

You must have missed this earlier in the thread about BusyBox.

I guess you might put it up and it automatically gets pulled down when filepro has something to output to the screen?


As per the on-line manual

This is for times when filePro is processing under the hood and is a way
to let the user know filePro is doing something and not ready for use.
Think of it when scanning millions of records with a browse lookup with
drop processing. A user might think the process is frozen or crashed if
nothing is on the screen showing that it is working. The important thing
about this new command would be that the instant filepro is waiting
again for any keystroke, the show working display must come down
automatically as there is no way for the programmer to know when to take
it down in a browse lookup situation.

What does "Busybox" do?

 BUSYBOX "my message"
 BUSYBOX("10","10")
