Keywords: Display Fraction Decimal Time Timeout
You can "use" decimal values, but they don't work like you would think...
For Example: 0.1 to 0.9 actually seem to take longer than 1 second. Here is why: the interpreter converts floating point values to the nearest integer value when an integer value is expected and the function substitutes a value of 2 when it receives a value of 0.
So if you pass a value -.3, for example, into the time parameter the interpreter will convert it the the nearest integer, 0 in this case. When the function receives the 0 in converts it to 2. This means that
Display(-.3,"Whatever", "Whatever")is equivalent to
Display(2,"Whatever", "Whatever")and
Display(-.9,"Whatever", "Whatever")is equivalent to
Display(-1,"Whatever", "Whatever")
