   I am looking to get/write a program in Pascal that will act as a 
stopwatch.  The problem is that I would like it to be memory resident (ie: it
should be able to run in the background while another program is running).
What I am doing is developing a lap counting system for radio-controlled cars.
The races are 5 minutes in length and I want to be able to run my lap counting
program and have this stopwatch displayed on the screen.  When the stopwatch
reaches 5 minutes, I would like to have a buzzer go off, signaling the end of
the race.  I would like a keystroke (<Return> key) to start and stop the 
watch also.  If anyone out there can direct me to a place to find this type
of program or cna give a few hints on how to do it, I would greatly appreciate
it.  Please e-mail me directly as I am not a subscriber to this list.
