WAIT WINDOW is a really neat tool to display messages such as
wait,indexing..., don't stop this, and so on; but is this all
it can do? No!! try this little tool and see if you can give
any use to it. Enjoy!

(IT WORKS IN BOT VFP AND FPW)

****There is a limit for the character string that is displayed in the WAIT WINDOW
****WAIT CLEAR erases the wait window from the screen IN VFP
****This can also be used as a substitute for the debug window
