I'd be interested to hear how that works out - I didn't have much luck
with it last time I tried it.

Note that whatever output it produces, it will need to fit in with the
existing XRC infrastructure.

No, that won't really work on a wizard.

No.

No.

Look at frmBackup/frmRestore. On those we use a text area to capture
and display the output as it happens. This has the advantage that the
user can copy and paste the entire log of the operation afterwards,
which they cannot do with a status bar.

Nope - once you hit 'Send', that's it! Just reply to it with 'sorry,
should have been sent to -hackers' or something like that.
