statusbar -- set the value for a status bar

STATUSBAR SET Statusbar$, LeftLabel$, RightLabel$, State

Use statusbar set to actually set the bar to a specific value. This value named State here is a number between 0 and 100. Thus, 0 is the empty statusbar while 100 is the full statusbar. During your update, you can change the labels at the left and right (LeftLabel$ and RightLabel$).

Have a look at the statusbar command for an example.
