If you are using frames, I could think of a solution, somewhat convoluted,
though.
When the Compute button is click, another frame ( probably the Menu frame)
opens a window with the Wait message; The page gets submitted; When the
result page is finally loaded it tells the Menu page to close the message
Window.
(You need another frame so that there is somebody holding a handle to the
message window.)
Hope this helps.
