Console applications don't have a message pump, but do have threads. If you create a thread that does the work and waits for the next second when the work is done, you should get the result you want. Read the documentation about TThread how to create a dedicated thread. Getting data to and from a thread is less straightforward though. That's why there are a number of alternatives to the 'raw' TThread that help with this, like OmniThreadLibrary.
