st: outputting progress indicator for long-running programs

["Zurab Sajaia" <zsajaia@hotmail.com>]

Dear All,

Does anyone know how to update the status line in Stata window? I was 
wandering if it's possible to put progress indicator there for 
time-consuming programs, similar to the percentages when Stata downloads 
updates?

In one of my programs I used -window manage maintitle- feature to report 
progress in the title bar but this command works only with Windows and Unix 
(as one of the users with MacOS pointed out to me)...

Any other suggestion would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Zurab
