Hi Malte, you and Richard are on the right trace - and I was blind :)
The time cruncher is not the repeat loop, but my special sorting routine. I
have a mixed alpha-numerical list. It is perhaps a little bit strange, but I
want the numbers to be sorted at the end of the list. A-Z-1-9-10-99-100-x

Nonetheless, if there's a significant performance hit in *the same code*
running on different LC versions, then it's something to worry about.

Thanks Peter. Both checked OK. I think this might be a bug unless there is
some data inconsistency that could creep into some data type that the other
platforms ignore. Maybe?? I've seen this using MS Access via ODBC to MYSQL
DBs with invalid data in data types. I'm going to plod along and see

This is what I use for minutes seconds. You can extend it to include hours
frames.
You’ll want to do the send command at the frame interval (1/30) of a second.

what does the xSortListe function do? What is rather funny that my real life

It seems to me that first you need to make sure you're working in seconds,

Then its just a matter of math.
