The program executes kind of like this:

1. fl_do_forms (standard looping - the user clicks a button to go to step 2)
2. Callback routine starts
3. A window is shown
4. fl_check_forms is called (the window actually appears)
5. The rest of the callback executes ~30 seconds
6. The window is hidden.
7. The callback routine exits.
8. fl_do_forms standard looping continues

So you are suggesting several calls to fl_check_forms at step 4 or trying to
spread them out within the time intensive portion of execution?
