Here's the way I do it. I show a small display stack, the idea is just  
that it's a billboard to tell the user that the saving is occurring.  
It closes after the save is done.

on doSave
    modeless stack "savingAlert"
    wait 10 millisecs
    save stack "pdData"
    set the lastSaved of stack "pdData" to the seconds
    close stack "savingAlert"
    go stack "pdData"
end doSave
