This is a great thread (and a good example of how easily people can somehow go off on a tangent! 
)Anyway, here is my humble submission on a progress bar. I threw it together in a few minutes, but it seems to get the job done. I'm sure it can spark someone's imagination!
code:
BREAK ON
CLS
COLOR r+/r$X = 2
WHILE $X < 20
BOX(2,1,2,$x,"full")
$X = $X + 2
SLEEP 1
LOOP
COLOR w/n
