Thanks! I'll give it a try. Not being able to use GetMilliSec on my Intel machine, I've been using André Berg's Unix executable "timetools". It's good, but subject to the overhead with 'do shell script'.

Hey Nigel,

I can't seem to find 'timetools' in either source or binary online. Can you point the way?

The LapTime.osax has only the normal Applescript overhead, and is respectably fine-grained.

Here are my handlers.

** 'format xxx into' is a handy function of the Satimage.osax for formatting numeric display.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# START_TIMER() == Uses the LapTime.osax to produces a timer set.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on START_TIMER()

return start timer

end START_TIMER

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# STOP_TIMER() == Companion to START_TIMER() == Uses the Satimage.osax 'format' command.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on STOP_TIMER(tmrNumber)

return format ((stop timer tmrNumber) / 1000) into "##.####"

end STOP_TIMER

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# USAGE:

set tmr1 to START_TIMER() of me

# Your script

set tmr1Stop to STOP_TIMER(tmr1) of me

It returns milliseconds, and you can get laptimes, so you can produce a list of time-points and a total.

LapTime is a really spiffy tool by Tetsuro Kurita. He has several, but this is the only one I use regularly.
