Change Timer settings? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

I am using MEL:s PicBasic Pro 2.30

How do i change the internal Timer settings? I need to make the ticks occur more often than every 16.384 ms.

I am building a stopwatch that is going to show the time like xx:xx:xx (minutes, seconds, hundreds of a second).
It would be perfect with a tick every 10 ms or less.

I have read that it should be possible to change the "prescaler". Don't really know what it means though...

Is there any more manual than the original PBP manual from MEL? I would like some with more information. Or is there any good internet site?
