Put it on a separate layout. Go to the layout, refresh the screen and
run the script. Go back to your regularly scheduled programming after
:-)

I have a script that creates a bunch of records, and it takes
upwards of 10 seconds to complete the task. Between the time the
user gives the go-ahead to do it and the time the task runs to
completion, I'd like to flash a brief message on the screen saying
"Thanks. Please wait a bit.". This is NOT a dialog ("di-" implies
that the user may have something to say back), it's a monolog -
1-way, from me to the user, no response expected or desired.
I figured I could probably achieve this objective just by inserting
a Show Custom Dialog step and not entering anything in any of the 3
button-label boxes, then following it with a Pause/Resume Script
step with a duration of 1 second. Alas, foiled. FMP automatically
displays my dialog box with an "OK" button.
Anyone got any hints about how I can just flash my monolog box?
