TIC=TICKS();
TIC=TIC/1000;
PRINT(TIC);

I'm not sure why TIC=TICKS() produces a zero result. However, the following will get what I think you want:

EXPORT TEST()
BEGIN
PRINT();

REPEAT
PRINT(TICKS/1000);
UNTIL GETKEY >-1;
END;

Thanks Eddie...believe it or not that was my first attempt and it didn't work, now it does !?. Maybe the recent firmware update did the trick....
