changing CorrectAnswer

[dkmcf]

Eli,

If you want to manipulate the correct response by changing .CRESP in
code, then you have to do that *before* your input mask runs, not
after.  Once an input mask gets a response it scores that response
using the latest value of .CRESP, so changing .CRESP after the fact
does no good.

So, either change .CRESP before your input mask runs, or, as liw
suggested, use code after the response to score the response directly,
i.e., make your change directly to .ACC (based directly on, e.g.,
handedness and .RESP) instead of to .CRESP.
