Thanks for the suggestions so far,
I like the idea of having a hidden frame being
refreshed with status and the displayed frame watching
it for a change. I will pursue that for the time
being. I am not certain of the firewall issues but I
believe it will be a consideration.
I figured someone would have an idea!
Thanks
