Question:

Apparently when the BoxDrawText function is used, previous content is kept in memory. Is it possible to clear this stack without destroying the box so that more status messages can be displayed?

Answer:

Yes. See the writeup about Drawing Stack Management in the WinBatch help file.

Basically you draw all the preparatory stuff, then do a BoxDataTag to define the end of the stuff that does not change.

Then you start doing your updaing. Use BoxDataClear to clear the stack back to the point where you did the BoxDataTag each time you do an update.
