How to set a timer and processing continues

[tnjgraham]

Hey, I need to set a timer but still have the program processing info. I have looked into using sleep but when using this all processing stops to my knowledge. I tried to use the settimer method but was having some issues since I am not using a dialog based interface.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
