Independent Progress Bar

[Bob Sneidar]

Ohhh you are right. Well my Standalone idea works a peach, if you can stand having a user see another app launch with only one menu, then disappear without knowing why. I could make it more robust if I knew how to pass information to a standalone created in Livecode. I think there are some lessons on that. Time to read up a bit.
