Weichel,

All you have to do is throw in some doEvents() inside those loops.
doEvents() checks to see if a button was clicked, text was typed into an
editbox, etc.  Start with one doEvents() in your loop; if the window seems
sluggish during the loop, add more doEvents() at different places in the
loop.
