Remarks
DBW_NOREQUERY if set to 1 avoids the DocumentPage requery after event insertion done through the AddDocument command
WAIT_TIME sets the wait time of the database transactions. When executing many transactions sequentially without the need of keeping the browser synchronized, it is possible to set a low value (ex. 10 msec) so to speed up the process; when finished it is necessary to restore the original value.
Example:
waitTimeOld = DBWGetOption("WAIT_TIME")
DBWSetOption "WAIT_TIME","10"
DBWShell("AddDocument ...")
DBWShell("AddDocument ...")
...
DBWShell("AddDocument ...")
DBWSetOption "WAIT_TIME", waitTimeOld
