<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">In any case, when Framemaker becomes irresponsive while performing something, I would like to know if it crashed miserably or just became temporarily irresponsive. There is no way to discover that rather than sit and wait. Therefore, I think that in such cases, after a certain timeout, FM must issue a message describing the status of the action being performed or, alternatively, show a progress bar.</SPAN></div>

I've seen that message for several other apps, including Outlook, Word, and Acrobat. <BR><BR>Richard G.
