     I have an application in which I'd like to foreground/background
processing.  You can do this with the ON TIMER statement, but the interval
is only 1 second, and the fastest you can go is 1 second.  I would like to
at least go every 100 ms.
     I have thought of using the ON PLAY statement; I don't know if this
would allow me to faster then 1 second or not(haven't tried it yet).  The
other option would be to buy a timer board that would have a resolution
less than a second, and then write routines to use the board.
     Has anyone else run into this problem?

                                                      [Tim]
