Mac. E-Prime. Keyboard. HELP!

[Melanie Lam]

Hi David! 

Great question. No, I didn't answer that earlier. Funny enough, something I 
tried today. Ran the Basic RT program. Didn't work. I'm at a complete loss. 

My colleague just loaded the experiment I programmed on his PCs for his lab 
(at another university). Ran no problem.

I've even tried just one text event that required a "G" key press. Nothing.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the key code translation maybe 
from Mac to PC? When I try and exit the EPrime experiment using Control, 
Alt, Shift, it won't quit. Instead I have to Control, Alt, Delete to get 
out of the program. 

Thoughts?

Best,
Mel
