// DESCRIPTION:
//
// This plug-in demonstrates how to use the MProgressWindow class.
// The command "progressWindowPlugin" displays a simple progress window
// which updates every second. The progress window can be terminated by hitting escape.
//
// To run this plug-in:
//
// progressWindowCmd;
//
// A progress window will be displayed. Note that Maya can only display one progress
// window at a time. MEL also supports creating a progress window.
// Program errors may occur if the progress windows of MEL and the API are being called
// at the same time.
