Betreff: st: Stata equivalent to Matlab 'waitbar' function?

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to produce either a graphical or numeric display 
in the STATA results window, that indicates the progress when running a 
program with a loop function in it (ie. to indicate the proportion of total 
iterations currently complete, when using a command such as -forvalues i = 
1/`iterations'- ...)

I can use -display- to provide a cumulative percentage, but would prefer if 
the printed result could overwrite the last text rather than a ridiculous 
build up of numbers in the results window.

If it helps, this would be something equivalent to the 'waitbar' function 
in Matlab.

This would be extremely helpful.

Many thanks,
Sam.
