Getting response after stimulus has been cleared

[Kim, Kisok]

after a quick glance of your question...
 
can you just collect response in a separate "transparent" textdisplay that is presented almost simultaneously with the stimulus textdisplay?

	Hi,
	
	I'm trying to design a small e-prime experiment, and I've run into a small
	problem.
	
	I'm presenting text stimuli, which have to be on screen for 6 seconds, and
	are then cleared - no problem.  What is causing the problem is that I need
	to be able to get the response during and after the stimulus, i.e. the
	stimulus will be cleared, but the program will not proceed on to the next
	stimulus until a response has been made, and no time limit must be set for
	the response to occur in.
	
	I think I'm being extremely dense, but when trying to script this, I've
	tried using a slide, but I can't seem to set durations of the
	sub-components, so would I be best just using a text object with unlimited
	duration, and then an inline script to clear the display after 6000ms?
	
	Thanks for any help
