Thanks Fotiman; in simplifying my code for posting, I neglected to mention that 'function()' is a named function, which I assume explains why it didn't work when I tried it w/o the quotes. That may also explain why I can't get your code to work as written. I've tried various tweaks to your second version:

setTimeout(function() { Timer = setInterval("myfunction() {}", 100); }, 1000);
setTimeout(function() { Timer = setInterval("myfunction()", 100); }, 1000);
