Question: How to simulate or animate on the fly

Can maple produce an animation while it is still calculating?

What I mean is, if Maple is calculating an animation in a loop have the displayed animation playing slightly behind the calculations so one would not have to wait until Maple is finished the full calculations.

I'm not actually sure if that's possible in Maple.  Everything I've ever done Maple has to finish it's calculations before one can even begin to view any animation.  Same thing for numeric simulations, if Maple can't complete the simulation but is still calculating, nothing is displayed until you hit the stop hand. 

It would really be nice if, while Maple is making calculations, Maple had the option of displaying the results if one had programmed such an output.  Granted it would slow the calculations down as Maple would have to devote some power to displaying the immediate results but nevertheless it would be a great option.

A simple example, just for clarity

for i from 1 to 1000000 do
i;
end do;

Maple carries out the completed calculations before display.

Perhaps there exists something in Maple that does exactly what I would like.  Is there such a way?
