Hi,

Sorry, was in a hurry typing that one. You don't need the for...endfor loop since the sleep parameter is already multiplied by the parameter for the program.

I got this idea awhile back here at UT. It was about simulating a progress bar on the status bar. I think the sleep api accepts parameters in milli seconds (1/1000), but I'm not sure.
