Thanks, just wondered, that makes sense.  Moving on...

Now I wonder why you use two separate keyboards, one for the numbers 
and one for the space bar.  Surely a single keyboard would have both 
numbers and a space bar, so you could do all this with one 
keyboard.  But let's leave that aside.

Next, the subject presses either two keys (a number plus {SPACE}) or 
just one key ({SPACE}) to continue.  I assume you do this with the 
Advanced input mask features, by setting MaxCount to 2 
(Disclaimer:  I have never used this feature myself, so I am 
stretching here).  If you did not also set Termination Response to 
{SPACE}, then the subject must *always* press two keys to continue, 
i.e., if they press just {SPACE} then the questionaire will not 
continue (although it would if they pressed {SPACE} twice, give that a try).

So, you might try setting Termination Response to {SPACE}.

That said, is there any reason they must press a number key plus the 
{SPACE}?  Why not continue as soon as they press the number 
key?  What have I missed?
