===== TICKS PER SECOND ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = TICKS PER SECOND

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''TICKS PER SECOND'' returns the number of ticks per second that can 
be detected using the ''TIMER'' keyword. Note that this value is calculated 
dynamically at the start of the program, and is therefore no longer modified. 
However, because there may be versions of the same hardware running at 
different frequencies, the value cannot be used as a compile-time constant.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    PRINT TICKS PER SECOND
