Good luck running concurrent processes in dBase!  But an interrupt
scheme might work for you.  Try running your clock process in a loop
and using the ON KEY command to trap a users keypress.  I'm not sure
exactly what you're trying to do.  This scheme obviously won't work if
you want the timer to run continuously during input.

Just thought you should consider the ON KEY command.
