This program is both an example of calling the standard OpenInsight msg function as a gas gauge and as a black box function for general gas gauge usage.

The code displays a gas gauge message and updates it, and then closed it at the end of processing, saving you from defining the message structure and calling msg directly.

First create the gas gauge with the following call
ggMsg = rgd_gasgauge("CREATE","your title text here":@fm:"your message text here","",ggCount,ggMsgDef)

then update the gas gauge in the loop with
while rgd_gasgauge("UPDATE","your message text here","",ggCount,ggMsgDef) do

finally close the gasgauge when processing is complete
void = rgd_gasgauge("CLOSE","","","",ggMsgDef)

See the source code for futher details.

*** New in version 1.03 ***
You can now pass some text in the second parameter in UPDATE mode. This text will update the message text area of the gas gauge. Useful for when you want to display the current ID of the record being processed or other information you want to convey to the user during processing.
