Eprime on Windows XP recap

[Leisha Wharfield]

Dear Mr. Pettibone,

I don't think you need to create another procedure, because you can nest 
block lists within each other. Of course you could create an attribute 
at a higher level than the procedure that runs your 20 sets times three 
stimuli, then that attribute wouldn't quit with the procedure, or write 
some in-line script to keep it going, but I randomize stimuli across 
different procedures by nesting a block list in the other lists that 
need to choose from it. Yes, it's very basic in Eprime.

Create a list that just includes your three stimuli, set it to select 
randomly, then nest it in every other block list that needs to use it by 
entering its name in the Nested column. You'll see that new list appear 
in the structure just beneath each block list you associate it with.
