Dear Yoed,

Q1:
If you have 4 block with 60 stimuli and you want to present them all
to each subject, you might consider the following..

1. make a main list, create 4 rows
2. put 4 different procedures in the list (called block1proc on
row1, .... block4proc on row4 or whatever) (don't add stimuli)
3. put that main list selection order on offset (order by subject) to
get a counterbalance including every block.
4. in each of the 4 procedures put an experimental list (1 "block/
list" per procedure) also they probably should all have the same proc,
(like "trialproc") with your stimuli in it (and perhaps a little
instruction before it)
5. so, then you have your four lists which you counterbalance based on
subjectnumber.

Q2:
response with feedback, do you mean "echo" screen?
goto keyboard advanced properties of for instance your textdisplay..
and add an echo display.
perhaps you want alphanumeric recording and also but input buffer to
more than 1 character.. experiment a bit with it..

Q3:
if hebrew is only in unicode available probably you cannot do it, I
tried it with Japanese.. it didn't work..
what you can do (as a trick) is directly edit the .ebs file (the
compiled e-run file) and paste your stuff into there (and change the
font into hebrew) but this requires some scripting knowledge and is
not straightforward.. (make sure you don't compile it afterwards
again) so I don't know whether this'll help you..

Anyway, I hope my tips were of some help.

Take care,

Rinus
