The ticks can be used to emulate background processing. They are not functional right now, but when they are you will be able to register functions that get called after each statement in the script is executed. That's if ticks=1. If it's ticks=5, for example, then your function will be called after every 5th statement. -Andrei It is commonly the case with technologies that you can get the best insight about how they work by watching them fail. -- Neal Stephenson
