Good pun.

The tick set by Compile "X" is ignored when used in an application
according to the FB online help, only used when in desk accessories or code
resources.

Snip from the FB Help file:

>This sets the preferred number of ticks (1/60th of
>a second) to occur between operating system calls.
>This is used when compiling a desk accessory or a
>code resource that "share time" with an application.

Hope that helps.
