Hi, 
I know its been asked before but I have yet to see a reply.

How can you time an event within HC to a resolution greater than a tick.
If I could get down to a millisecond it would be great but I would settle
for 5 msec.
Oh, there is another problem. I have seen a XCMD that once called will begin
timing in msec until a mouseDown but this is not the event I want.
I want to time until a mouseEnter. I haven't seen the source code to the above
XCMD but I assume it is using a system mousedown rather than the HC mousedown.

The application? I have a stack for running a Fitt's Law type experiment
which is dealing with movement times. Unfortunately it doesn't take 16msec
to move between the targets in the experiment hence my need for a finer
resolution.

As I am not the only requester for this info perhaps posting your replies
would be in order.

Thanks in advance.
