Thanks for the reply, but what does that mean? How can "minus var1" be a
target? What is a target?
Is GetMilliSec - var1 being interpreted as GetMilliSec of var1? If so, that
doesn't even make any sense, because var1 is a real number, and has no idea
how to get milliseconds. Oh well. Live and forget, I guess.
