Okay! Will check it out. I'd imagine every time it loops it's loading
the file again, which consumes more memory?

a '%auto 10' feature would be nice. I will look at the code when I get a
chance and see how difficult it would be.

Thanks for sharing your patch!

I notice that if I had magicpoint up on my test machine, and I edit the
text in the actual mgp file, it instantly changes! This doesn't carry thru
for say, the background image... but it polls ever 2 seconds or so and
seems to check if the file has changed.

I'm almost tempted to see if it would be possible to use this to my
advantage?
