SetTimerTask (Loc Procedure,Ticks)

SetTimerTask allows for background multitasking or real time events. The Ticks parameter specifies how often the task will run in clock ticks (18.2 times a second). If 6 ticks are specified then the task will run every 6 clock ticks or about 3 times a second. This command can be used to run scheduled events as well as periodic events.

Example:

   SetTimerTask(Loc BlinkColor,9)

   Procedure BlinkColor
      gotoxy 5 5
      textcolor white (random mod 7)+1
      writeln " * Colors Change * "
   EndProc
