[lazarus] showmessage or similar that closes without a prompt

[el stamatakos]

Hi,
 I would like to display a message but not wait for the user to hit ok. I would 
like to display it for 1 second and then close it. The reason is I will have a 
process that will do different things and I would like to dispaly what is being 
done.
 
Thanks
Lefti
