I tested this approach with the following results:

***********************************
* this program ran up to nCount = 4
***********************************
nCount = 1
nSeconds = SECONDS()
DO WHILE nCount < 100000 AND SECONDS() < nSeconds + 1
* IF MOD(nCount,1000) = 0
DOEVENTS
* ENDIF
@ 05,02 say nCount
nCount = nCount + 1
ENDDO
***********************************
* this program ran up to nCount = 405
***********************************
nCount = 1
nSeconds = SECONDS()
DO WHILE nCount < 100000 AND SECONDS() < nSeconds + 1
IF MOD(nCount,1000) = 0
DOEVENTS
ENDIF
@ 05,02 say nCount
nCount = nCount + 1
ENDDO

This will help, but I'll only issue a DOEVENTS command every 500 or 1000th
pass through the loop.

Thanks
