Hi Mark,
If it'd not relate to information and just about showing it's doing something I wouldn't try to do something relatively complex. A simple wait window or set message to would do IMHO. You could say show 3 wait window messages in succession with a timer like:
wait window nowait 'Processing .'
wait window nowait 'Processing ..'
wait window nowait 'Processing ...'
looping between 1-3 dots it'd provide it's working info I think.
Or just 'working.gif' animated gif as an image on form.

For wait window or a label on form you might choose a simplier text like:
Elapsed xx seconds. With timer it'd work nice IMHO.
