freescale 9s08gt16 timer

I am new to programming this device and I want to have a timer that
once I start it, lasts 250 ms.  Is anyone there familiar with how to
initialize the timer?

I realize that this is a very basic question please help anyway.

Thanks in advance,
Ralph

See AN2494 and it's associated file in AN2494SW.  The latter is a nice Excel
spreadsheet to find values for all 9S08 peripherals once parameters are set
for the peripheral.

Also, CodeWarrior has a Processor Expert which adds the drivers and the
proper initialization for the peripheral once the dialog is populated with
appropriate values.
