That's simple. All you need to know is the total value (when it's done), 
current value, and length of bar. Try this (it's written in graphics mode, 
but could be easily re-done to use ascii 219 and 177 in text mode.)
SCREEN 12
FOR A=1 TO 97526
LOCATE 1,1:PRINT A;
LOCATE 1,21:PRINT (A/97526)*100;"%"
LOCATE 1,41:PRINT (A/97526)*639;"pixels"
LINE(0,17)-((A/97526)*639,25)
NEXT A
Very poor untested code, but just the same... It'll count from 1 to 97526 and 
give you the % value, and the pixels. The formula is
(current_value/maximum_value)*length_of_complete_bar
use 100 for the length_of_complete_bar to get a number back corresponding to 
the percentage.
