It's in the repeat loop just so it is executed enough times so that some valid numbers
can be seen. Otherwise you are comparing less than a millisecond to less than a
millisecond...kind of hard to figure out who's fastest then.

Same here, but um, erm, hey some of those tests I ran showed sendAll to be 5
times slower. I'll take the flexibility over the speed.

Hello, List Peeps
I have a projector.exe that ((On MouseUp me) open "Proj2.exe") Anyways it
opens it.
Is there anyway to tell either projector.exe to be on top or the active
program in windows from lingo?
Thanks a Bunch,

As far as keeping track of lists of sprites I wrote an article about this for DOUG. It

I like the research! Can you do a test where there are lots and lots

against there only being those few sprites.
