I don't want to sound like, an idiot, but I've never messed with INTUITICKS
timing before, and I'm trying to wait an arbitrary amount of time based on
an INTUITICKS message received by my window. At any rate, I've declared, and
opened a window like this:

struct NewWindow NewW = {0,0,320,200,1,2,
			MOUSEBUTTONS | CLOSEWINDOW | RAWKEY | INTUITICKS,
			WINDOWCLOSE,
etc.

Notice the INTUITICKS flag is set.
So, I get my message from my message port, expecting to count these INTUITICKS
events (10 per second right?) and get a rough estimate of how much time has
passed, right ?  WRONG.
The INTUITICKS messages come continuously, all with the same class and code.

So, Instead of counting tenths of a second, I am counting iterations of my loop

Can anyone help, what am I overlooking ?
