Logging multiple incorrect responses and their RT

Thanks for your answers.

I will start the program from scratch and try to be as tidy as
possible. Any solution that works may be a nice deal anyway, event if
it is not elegant. My first try will include the loop and the counter,
as planned. Let's see how I do it...

Cheers,
Fernando
