ISTR if you look at the "title bar" for the currently running module in 
the gronsole screen there is a running man icon when the module is 
running, and it disappears when the module completes. Could def. be more 
obvious though. And if there is a lot of output it scrolls off the top of 
the screen and you don't see it.
