Position of mouse click responses

[David McFarlane]

Filiz,

First, as a general rule, you cannot treat code 
examples as literal incantations to evoke your 
desired result.  In this case, "Stimulus" is the 
name of a particular stimulus object 
(TextDisplay, Slide, etc.) in the example, you 
need to either replace that with the name of the 
stimulus object in your program, or name your 
stimulus object "Stimulus".  Otherwise, the "Unknown function Stimulus" error.

Next, by "store the coordinates", your code 
sample already does that with the two c.SetAttrib 
commands, and they will appear in those 
attributes in your .edat file.  See chapter 4 
"Using E-Basic" of the original User's Guide (now 
ch. 5 in the latest edition), and pay attention to the c.SetAttrib command.

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) 
PST's trained staff take any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp 
, and they strive to respond to all requests in 
24-48 hours -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full 
use of it.  3) In addition, PST takes questions 
at their Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychology-Software-Tools-Inc/241802160683 
), and offers several instructional videos there 
and on their YouTube channel 
(http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ) (no Twitter 
feed yet, though).  4) If you do get an answer 
from PST staff, please extend the courtesy of 
posting their reply back here for the sake of others.
