How about a generic form? It can set to be a popup with a timer to automatically timeout if needed. It can BINDEVENT() to whatever the focus form is and intercept mouse moves and keystrokes to auto-go-away when it's time. It could then store previous messages to a log, allowing them to be viewed later, reported on, etc.

Replace "WAIT WINDOW" with a new function, "wait_window(" and then put everything that used to be there as input as a string:

* Current way:
WAIT WINDOW TRANSFORM(lnI) + " records processed" NOWAIT

* Translate to
wait_window([TRANSFORM(lnI) + " records processed" NOWAIT])

And the wait_window() code would parse that syntax and replace the functionality.

Surely someone has written this already?
