"continue" only possible after x seconds

[David McFarlane]

liw indeed gave you the easy way.  But if you want a more complicated 
way, here you go...

(1) Put up your instruction Slide for, let's say, 15 seconds, taking 
no response.  Follow that with a Wait object with infinite Duration 
that does get a response with an End Action of Terminate.  Your 
subject will see the instructions for 15 s, then the instructions 
will simply remain until they respond to the Wait.

(2) Or, as above, put up your instruction Slide for 15 s, taking no 
response.  This time follow it with another Slide or TextDisplay that 
adds only the "press key to continue" and then gets a response as 
above -- if you fiddle with the Frame Width, Height, X, Y, and 
BackStyle transparent you can overlay your new display without 
disturbing the earlier instruction display.  I have done this to 
create all sorts of effects myself.
