Calling experiments?

[Paul Gr]

Hi Fredrik,

Since EBasic is limited to scripts sizes of about 64kb, including other 
scripts as packages will probably not be the sollution. As far as I know, 
there is also no command for running a second script from an existing EPrime 
script. However, it is rather easy to start EPrime scripts (i.e. ERum) from 
other (scripting) applications or batch files. You also might take a look at 
at the EKick utility: 
http://www.psy.vu.nl/download/menu/xml/eprime_tool_ekick.xml
This small program helps you to start EPrime scripts with specific 
parameters (such as subject ID)

Best
