you have to check for 2 numers:

DO WHILE inlist(loRequest.Status, 2, 4)
   wait wind 'agent is talking - wait' nowait
   DOEVENTS
ENDdo
wait wind "he's finsished - go ahead" nowait
* *** 0 Request successfully completed.  
* *** 1 Request failed.  
* *** 2 Request pending (in the queue, but not complete).  
* *** 3 Request interrupted.  
* *** 4 Request in progress.  

hope this helps.

my problem is i can not get the agent to show, it shows only the message baloon
