Can anyone tell me how I can get a simple timer tick on my ST?  I need a
high resolution timer so that I can record keystrokes off of MIDI for a 
simple sequencer I'm writing.  However, I've looked through all the
developer documentation and can't figure out how to do it...  Do I have to
write an interupt handler to count timer interupts? (ugh...) I can't believe
it's as hard as that...

Progress means replacing something wrong with something more subtly wrong.
