Hi dru145,

This column by our very own merlyn, Watching long processes through CGI, should help you to do what you want to do.

Update: Perhaps I should make it clear that the column that I refer to is nearly five years more current than the one you were working from. It uses a different technique too, using meta refresh tags as opposed to server push. This seems to be a more universal solution.
hope this helps
