Re: Splash screen - Anybody know an easy way to determine how many seconds it's been up?

  Why do you need it?  Are you going to put a countdown on the screen 
and refresh it?  If you use the timeout method, the system does the 
work for you.

  Just throwing out an alternative: There was an old technique used 
back in the /36 days that used (IIRC) an ICF file as the timeout 
mechanism, with a $$TIMER format or keyword.
