Display text before ending the script

| Hi!
I have a script that is taking some time to run and in my page, i've
placed some comments to be displayed on the webpage so I can know what
the script is currently running.
Unfortunately, the HTML page is displayed ONLY when the script is
entirely finished.
I'd like the comments placed within the script to be displayed as soon
as the script is reading them, not at the end!
(I don't know if i'm clear enough, here's an example)
CURRENTLY:
(script running)
....
(script end)
HTML page will show:
The script is starting...
Script step 1...
Script step 2...
Done!
WHAT I'D LIKE IT TO DO:
(script running)
The script is starting...
(script continues)
Script step 1...
(script continues)
Script step 2...
(script end)
Done!
Thanks!
Andrew

You need to turn the response buffer on and, when you want the output
sent to the client, flush the buffer
Response.Buffer = True
....
Response.Flush
....
Response.Flush
