Multiple duplicate

Is there a way to make the following all fire at once and not one by one? Basically I want it so that the copy window has multipe progress indicators. Since there are 5 folders, I would like 1 indicator for each folder. Is this possible?

	duplicate srcdoc to bckpdest with replacing
	duplicate srcaddr to bckpdest with replacing
	duplicate srcmail to bckpdest with replacing
	duplicate srcical to bckpdest with replacing
	duplicate srcscript to bckpdest with replacing

EDIT:
I tried the following but it is very slow, the hard disk overworks, and there is only 1 indicator for the whole thing.

	set srclist to {"Maggie:Users:PaulAvery:Documents", "Maggie:Users:PaulAvery:Library:Application Support:AddressBook", "Maggie:Users:PaulAvery:Library:Mail", "Maggie:Users:PaulAvery:Library:Application Support:iCal", "Maggie:Users:PaulAvery:Library:Scripts"}
	
	duplicate srclist to bckpdest with replacing

It is fastest to copy multiple files from the same disk one after the other. If you try to copy more than one thing simultaneously the hard drive wastes time continuously moving back and forth grabbing little bits of each file, like you described. I would use a repeat loop to accomplish your task. This will give you a progress indicator for each thing being copied, but they will appear one after the other.

This seemed to work.
The delays are needed. When I did not use them It only worked on and of without an error from finder.
Also this is not saying this is the best way of doing things, because its not IMHO, but it gets you the multi copy
dialogue

tell application "Finder"
	set srcdoc to "Macintosh HD:Users:UserName:Documents:Burn_disk_36006018.fpbf"
	set srcaddr to "Macintosh HD:Users:UserName:Movies"
	set srcmail to "Macintosh HD:Users:UserName:Mail Search"
	set bckpdest to "Macintosh HD:Users:UserName:Desktop:dup test"
	ignoring application responses
		duplicate srcdoc to bckpdest with replacing
	end ignoring
	delay 1
	ignoring application responses
		duplicate srcaddr to bckpdest with replacing
	end ignoring
	delay 1
	ignoring application responses
		duplicate srcmail to bckpdest with replacing
	end ignoring
end tell

Okay, here is what I got and it works beautifully. Thanks for all the help everyone!

	set srclistnum to count srclist
	set i to 1
	repeat until i is greater than srclistnum
		ignoring application responses
			duplicate item i of srclist to bckpdest with replacing
		end ignoring
		set i to i + 1
	end repeat
