How to pop up a status message box with hourglass
The Application Compiler displays a status box while procedures are
compiling. The status box displays a message string "Compiling...",
changes the mouse pointer to the system wait image (an hourglass on
MS-Windows), and simply goes away upon completion of the compile.
MESSAGE "whatever" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX requires user interaction, which
is often undesirable.
Developers can implement a status box by running WinStatusMsg,
an internal subprocedure which can be found in psystem.i within the
/dlc/src/adeedit directory. An example of the syntax to run the
procedure can be found in pcompile.i in the same directory.
