slowmotion button?

Hello ascii-animators who actually understand JavaScript...
I'm trying to put a slowmotion section into an animation. I've stared at
CJRandall's code and finally managed to figure out how to get the
animation to start, stop and go step by step but I can't figure out how
to do a slow motion replay. Here is what I have: (I've used two frames
from my "Mr. ASCII-head plays one-on-one Basketball" animation)
____|
o \%/ |--\
_c/ |
<c/ \ |
/ < \ |
>> | ejm98
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (agt.indexOf("mac") != -1) { var a="\r"; } else { var a="\n"; }
var max=0;
function tlist(){ max=tlist.arguments.length;
for(i=0;i<max;i++) this[i]=tlist.arguments[i];
}
tl = new tlist(
" "+a+
" ____|"+a+
" \\%/ |--\\"+a+
" |"+a+
" c/ o |"+a+
" / \\ /| |"+a+
" o/ \\\< \\ | ejm98"+a,

" |"+a+
" _c/o |"+a+
" o \\/\\ |"+a+
" / X \\ | ejm98"+a
);
var x=0;
var repeat=1;
var stop=0;
function go()
{
document.f.t.value=tl[x];
if(repeat==1)
{
if (tl[++x] == null) x=0;
if (stop==0) setTimeout("go()",200);
}
else
{
if (tl[++x] != null)
{
if (stop==0) setTimeout("go()",200);
}
else
x=0;
}
}

The animation without stop and start buttons can be seen at

NOTE: I never pick up my mail from the yahoo address. If you
are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
