I suppose so, I couldn't do without.  The following appears to work:

    <script>
      function showstat(string) {
      window.status = string;
      }      
    </script>
    This is <a href="." onmouseover="showstat('hello')">a test</a> and
    <a href="." onmouseover="showstat('hi')">another one</a>
