>>NOTE: The use of ALINES() is only an approximation -- It breaks lines at character positions -- so it only really works if you're using a monospace font. Of course this might not be huge problem -- if I'm not mistaken WAIT WINDOW is limited to around 254 characters anyway

Not to mention that he makes it look easy, mentioning fontmetric for character height, which is generally less than row height - plus there's the spacing, border, padding of the wait window window... So „approximation“ should be always taken with a two fingers thick layer of salt. It's actually more complicated than that.

Something like one of them tooltip windows we had lying around would do nicely.
