I suppose then this would have to be actually a pop-up status window...?

And the pl/sql package behind that pop-up window would be reading the PIPE getting status information written from the pl/sql package running behind the main browser window?

If that's the case then I follow your logic... just then a case of (I guess?) a little javascript code somewhere to close the popup window once the processing is complete?
