TIMER returns the number of seconds past the previous midnite. It can return single values down to about .05 seconds accurately. Values range from 0 at midnite to 86399.
Example 1: t! = TIMER + 1: DO: LOOP UNTIL TIMER > t! 'one second delay
Warning: TIMER value comparison ranges cannot exceed 86399! If a comparison value is used it must fall within that range!
Example 2:
SUB Delay (dlay!)
start! = TIMER
DO WHILE start! + dlay! >= TIMER
IF start! > TIMER THEN start! = start! - 86400
LOOP
END SUB
