Since Revolution, unlike Hypercard, offers you substacks, instead of 
fighting message box, create a substack with a single field in it and 
use for your progress. Display. In pseudo code it goes like

set the rect of stack "myprogressdisplay" to 394,681,802,826
modeless stack "myprogressdisplay"
put "my progress info" into fld 1 of stack "myprogressdisplay"
close stack "myprogressdisplay"
