Forms 3.0 host() processing

Using:
I've noticed an interesting "feature" in forms PL/SQL processing. I want
to do the following:
message('Please wait while I process...');
host('do some command');
and have the message displayed while it executes the host command. I have
yet to figure out a way that displays the message BEFORE the host command
is actually executes. I've put bells, multiple messages, etc., but they
I've thought of the requisite host command something like:
host('command >& /dev/null &');
But, I'd still like to tell the user to wait while it spawns that process.
SQL*Forms Design: Version 3.0.16.12.2

Any thoughts or work-arounds?
