Understanding the progress dialog box in script tools

Since script tools share the application, you have control of the progress dialog box. You can control the appearance of the progress dialog box by choosing either the default progressor or the step progressor, as illustrated below.

There are four functions you use to control the progress dialog box and its progressor.
