 ...It's all right as long as your program does JUST THAT in an
 endless loop.
 But as soon as you put a waitstate somewhere (GET...READ, MENU TO,
 ACHOICE, INKEY) the clock stops and only gets active again AFTER the
 input...
 No, a clock can only be done by hanging it on an interrupt, which
 can't be done in pure Clipper. But there are plenty LIB's with
 functions that do so for you....
 Nice try...
