Argh ! This is a "bug" in the compiler. It interprets Timer as a subroutine 
name instead of an identifier. Which is stupid in this context...

So, I'm compelled to reveal the second undocumented Gambas feature :-)

Put Timer between braces: {Timer}
This will force the compiler to interpret Timer as an identifier.
