jan,
i forgot all about using a simple method i used before in my script
(without using the idler handler that i suggested earlier).
if you don't need an idler and just want your script to do the
monumental task at hand, you can use a task counter in your script
that you can cross-ref with a list of numbers, call it a warningPost.
for example, you can make your script to display a dialog box every
50th job done. so your warningPost should be a list that contains
these numbers {50, 100, 150, 200, 250} and so on until the task is
finished.
you have enough freedom to make your script display that alert dialog
to inform your users that your script is still hard at work.
please check your email for an example of the counter method. i did
not include it here though i am sure you get the idea.
good luck.
