to do so, you can set the "effectrate" to XXXX in millsecs:
...
set the effectrate to 300
show fld XYZ with visual dissolve very slow
...
The last line is a bit mentally challenging, but the effectrate will only affect 
the visual effect setting ... VERY SLOW! :-D

I have a pretty large app and I suspect there is some kind of timing problem because putting in a delay solved some of it. For me, the text fades in, then the field content disappears and leaves a white space where the field was. The background of the field is set to transparent, but I haven’t yet explored setting different options. I will do that today.
