Simple cumulative timing question

[Scott]

Hi Frank,
Which version of E-Prime are you using? If you use E-Prime 2, and haven't 
seen it yet, I suggest you download the new (to me) E-Prime 2.0 
Documentation. Especially check the *User's Guide (24MB<http://www.pstnet.com/support/transfer.asp?Location=http%3A//www.pstnet.com/downloads/e-prime/2.0/docs/UsersGuide.zip>
)*. It's critical timing guide is Chapter 4, and I don't think that you 
will find anything there like that 10ms rule of thumb. Also see my 
reference in a previous post to RefreshAlignment, which may significantly 
change things. (I've been unable to find this term, RefreshAlignment,  by 
searching any of the documentation available under the Help menu of E-Prime 
2.0.8.90a, which I'm using now.) As I explained, I don't know enough yet 
about this feature, exactly when it was introduced or how it's applied, to 
know what it all means. I think that PST's inconsistent, unreliable, and 
often untimely documentation has helped confuse us both. The truth may be 
out there, but I haven't found it yet., so I'll say no more, for now.
