qb64/internal/help/_FREETIMER.txt
Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

The '''_FREETIMER''' function returns a free {{KW|TIMER}} number for multiple {{KW|ON TIMER(n)}} events.
{{PageSyntax}}
: timerhandle% = {{KW|_FREETIMER}}
{{PageDescription}}
* QB64 can use an unlimited number of ON TIMER (number, seconds!) event {{KW|INTEGER}} values at once.
* Every time _FREETIMER is called the [[INTEGER]] value returned will increase by one, starting at 1, whether it is used or not.
* Store multiple returns in different variable names to refer to separate events later.
