Description

This simple XCMD allows you to give some feedback when a lengthy operation is being performed. It puts up a Finder-style progress dialog, which contains a couple of lines of text and a rectangular bar indicating how much of a task has been completed

The window is created with the create command, and controlled through the use of the comment, progress and heading properties.

Example script

    set the comment of window "progress" to "n is" && n
    wait 10 ticks
  end repeat
  
  close window "progress"
end mouseUp
