Thanks for responding, I wound up doing something like what you
suggested.

For the latter, I typically set start and end points, and check every time whether the 600 ms have passed. If one would, for example, have an imagedisplay, myDisplay, showing a picture at x,y = 300,400, then moving it, this would be possible:
