Dennis: If you get this working you will pass it along to the rest of us,
will you not?
Thanks,
George

>> 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
