Perhaps I misinterpreted Richard's mail. I assumed that by "put URL"  
he was meaning "put x into url ...". Or am I misinterpreting your  
question too?

Anyway, you can set a callback with libUrlSetStatusCallback and it  
will work with both blocking and non-blocking calls. For example:

## in the stack script

on preOpenStack
   libUrlSetStatusCallback "urlCallback, the long id of this stack
end preOpenStack

on urlCallback pUrl, pStatus
   put pStatus into field "status"
end urlCallback

## and in a button somewhere

put tData into url "ftp://aname:apassword@some.server.com/afile.txt"
