You could tell a second script application to run and have that
script display a dialog with a very large timeout.
<script application "permanent dialog">
display dialog "I'm just going to sit here till you're done." giving up
after (1 * days) buttons {"Ok"}
<end script>
At the end of your main script just tell the "dialog script app" to
quit. But it won't quit. Qnza! It will wait until it gets dismissed.
Without an OSAX you can't make the other script quit the dialog script
app. But you could just have the user dismiss it.
Q. Does anyone know how to force a script app that has an open dialog
to quit? I couldn't make it happen. In OS 10.1.3/AS 1.8.1.

Displaying a dialog will pause your script, and there's no progress
bar. Under 8/9, use an external app or an osax such as Dialog Director.
