Specify key press before proceding to the next trial

[David McFarlane]

Just off the top of my head...

First, to limit keyboard responses to 1-9, just set Allowable to 
"123456789", or to "{NUMBER}", for your keyboard input mask -- see 
the tutorial in the Getting Started Guide that came with E-Prime (and 
while you are at it, work through *all* the tutorials in the User's 
Guide), and see the "{key} nomenclature" topic in the E-Basic Help facility.

Then for your loop exit, in place of 'If strHit = "Result" Then' you 
could use something like

     If ((Stage1Word.InputMasks(1).RESP <> "") and (strHit = "Result")) Then

this assumes that InputMask(1) is your keyboard input mask, and 
InputMask(2) is your mouse input mask, which from your code seems to 
apply here.
