using EDF plugin in macro

[Aryeh Weiss]

I am using the EDF p;ugin in a macro as follows:

run("EDF Easy ", "quality='2' topology='2' show-topology='off'
show-view='off'");

The problem I have is that teh macro does not wait for EDF to finish,
and EDF can take a while.
My solution to this is based on the fact that EDF creates a window
called "Output". so I did the following:

initTime = getTime();
while ( !isOpen("Output") ) {
     elapsedTime = getTime() - initTime;
     if (elapsedTime%10000 == 0) {
         print(elapsedTime/1000, " seconds elapsed");
         wait(10);
     }

which works (as  long as there is no other window called "Output"). I
print an occasional reminder that the macro is still alive within this
wait loop.

Is there a better way to do this?
