Hi Danilo, in a previous email you said you would be providing documentation for the timer library. Could you tell me where to get it?

Thanks

Is this the best way to do this...

Global TimerTicks.l
Procedure TimerTick()
TimerTicks + 1
If TimerTicks < 0 : TimerTicks = 0 : EndIf
EndProcedure
OpenConsole()
StartTimer(0,50,@TimerTick())
Repeat
Key.s = Inkey()
If Left(Key,1) = "t" : PrintN("Timer: " + Str(TimerTicks)) : EndIf
Until Left(Key,1) = "q"

In other words, I want a stand-alone global variable that I can look at, any time, and see the number of timer ticks since I started the timer. If the timertick variable flips over (due to the limited amount of numbers in a long integer) it resets to zero. This works, I am just wondering if it is the most efficient. Mainly I don't like checking for the flip every time the timer fires, that seems like *a lot* of code running all the time in the background for such a mundane thing.
