There's been some questions about multiple timers, so
here's one way to do it.

It's not gonna be 100 percent accurate - occasionally
"WAIT EVENT, 1" loses a second for ya, but hopefully ya
won't be using VDS in a missile defense system anyway...
Code:

OPTION SCALE, 96
OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."
TITLE By Mac
DIALOG CREATE,Test Program,-1,0,200,40
  DIALOG ADD,STATUS,Stat2,@datetime(ss)
  DIALOG ADD,STATUS,Stat1,@datetime(ss)
DIALOG SHOW

:EVLOOP
  WAIT EVENT, 1
  goto @event()

:TIMER
  %t = @datetime(ss)
  DIALOG SET, Stat1, %t
  DIALOG SET, Stat2, %t
  rem -- Use GOSUB (not GOTO) if ya want both timers to work --
  if @equal(@mod(%t, 2), 0)
     GOSUB TIMER1
  end
  if @equal(@mod(%t, 5), 0)
     GOSUB TIMER2
  end
  goto EVLOOP

:TIMER1
  DIALOG SET, Stat1, %t - "2 second timer"
  exit

:TIMER2
  DIALOG SET, Stat2, %t - "5 second timer"
  exit

:CLOSE
  EXIT

Cheers, Mac Smile

Darn! Does that mean that I cannot do that NASA Mars flight control program in VDS ??
I'd better stick with Space Invaders or something instead then...

Thanks for the example.
I need to use two timers in my program.
The first timer runs a code every 300 seconds or 5 minutes, that checks a server for update. And the second timer to be used in a minimize to taskicon thing.

Any chance for a simple example for that?

Just use a 1 second time to do a countdown. Do the minimize thing each time. Do the other thing when the countdown reaches 0, and then reset it to 300.
