WScript.Sleep for HTA?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've got an HTA that does a bunch of database processing
during which I update a <textarea> with progress messages.

Timestamped messages are added at the top if the
<textarea> (so they don't scroll out of site).

It appears that it isn't updated when the Sub is called.

Is there an equivalent to one of the following that I could use?
WScript.Sleep (WSH), Response.Flush (ASP), DoEvents (VB).

Basically, I use:

Call doStatus("Progress.")

Sub doStatus(what)
document.formHTA.Status.value = Now & what & vbCrLf & _
document.formHTA.Status.value
End Sub

<form name="formHTA">
<textarea name="Status" cols="50" rows="8" readonly></textarea>
</form>

Thanks in advance.
