Thanks for the link!

After downloading the 100x firmware, I can tell that it is a different firmware
(different clock, tone on button press is different, etc.) - however, it seems
like I just can't unlock this 1/1000 sec. timer issue.  Wait(1); still results
in a 1/100 second delay.

I found some reference to a "WaitMS" command in the NQC programming guide,
however, if I enter "WaitMS(1);" I get a "Error:  Undefined function 'WaitMS'"
whenever I try to compile.  BrixCC recognizes the WaitMS command (it turns blue
when I type it), so it must be valid...

I'm not a programmer.  I just want a 1/1000 wait :)

The documentation on this page
http://www.elenafrancesco.org/old/lego/Firmware%20Features.html mentions the
following:

"new wait1Msec opcode to perform program waits using one millisecond resolution"

Maybe that is what you are looking for.
