When you have made your progress bar, there are two properties you need to 
control programmatically: endValue and thumbPosition

The easiest way is just to use the file count, unless you want to get 
really fancy and use the file size as well. Assuming you are going for 
file count, I have added some extra lines to your script below:

on mouseUp
  answer folder "Please choose a folder:"
  put it into destFolder
  set the itemDelimiter to "/"
  put field 1 into theFiles
put the number of lines in theFiles into fileCount
set the endValue of scrollbar "Progress" to fileCount
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to 0
show scrollbar "Progress"
put 0 into currentFileNumber
  repeat for each line f in theFiles
    put destFolder & "/" & last item of f into newFile
    revCopyFile f, newFile
add 1 to currentFileNumber
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to currentFileNumber
  end repeat
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to \
   the endValue of scrollbar "Progress"
hide scrollbar "Progress"
end mouseUp


This works (almost perfectly). Thank you very much. The updated application 
is on
http://www.gla.ac.uk/~rh82p/index.html

Now there is one slight problem (well not a problem)

the progress bar is visible on startup and onthe first search, hoewever if 
you do a second file-transfer the progress bar only appears when the 
transfer is completeing not before and after.

This is NOT a problem :-) just an asthetic thing.

Any ideas?

PS I'm going ot get to grips with revolution a bit over the christmas break 
if my laptop holds out. (screen has an fl-inverter problem , toshiba design 
fault)

these snippets of code you have given me are invaluable for learning..

Thanks Again
