I would like to have a custom dialog appear while an evaluation is in progress (maybe even add that familiar spinning flower). I know it is easy for an experienced user to see when Mathematica is working, but this would help novice users who use some of my notebooks. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? I can use CreateDialog, but how do I close the dialog when the evaluation is done? DialogReturn only seems to work if it is contained in the dialog, and if the entire evaluation is contained in the CreateDialog, then the dialog doesn't appear until the evaluation is complete. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Nate
