Thanks for that idea...it looks workable!
I'll see what I can do with it and let you know.
Thanks,

Subject: Cursor Shape
> Dennis, about the idea of a script to announce a "please wait" message
> periodically while the cursor shape is hour glass, There is a handy
> little function I have not used yet, but which, according to the docs,
> allows you to schedule a function to run after a certain delay called
> ScheduleFunction. There is also a companion UnscheduelFunction which can
> be used to cancel a schedule which is still pending. When the
> CursorChanged event runs, you can set or clear a flag which controls
> whether this periodic scheduling happens and, if the shape is hour glass,
> it would schedule the first run of the message announcement. The
> function which speaks the "please wait" string would look at this flag
> and decide whether or not to speak the string and schedule another run of
> itself and thus continue the periodic schedule.

> Happy experimenting.
