The problem is not specific to using ZnClient, it is with every loop you execute in the UI thread: the Transcript output is not updated (as it is the UI thread itself that has to do the drawing).

For example, try

�� 1 to: 10 do: [ :i | Transcript crShow: i. 5 seconds wait ].

The solution is to run you long running code in another thread, like this

�� [ 1 to: 10 do: [ :i | Transcript crShow: i. 5 seconds wait ] ] fork.

HTH,

Sven
