<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>I'm very new to
e-prime and need to put together a paradigm rapidly, so can you please
help?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>I need a loop that
runs at a fixed 20 seconds.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>When the correct
input is made, or 18 seconds have passed, it should jump to a fixation for the
balance of the 20 seconds</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>After 6 seconds an
onscreen value should start decrementing at -2/sec</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>When a
wrong key is pressed a message should overlay the centre of the screen for
2 secs then be cleared, but further input still be allowed during that 2
secs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

specifically with my current attempt are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=483420110-02072001></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>How do I force the
jump to the fixation after 18 secs or a valid input? I'm using an
ImageDisplay object with 1 sec duration (another is displayed 1 sec later ) and
18secs timelimit.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>The second display
shows for 5 secs to bring me to my 6 seconds before decrementing the counter.
How do I then arrange the loop to decrement and re-display every second,
but</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483420110-02072001>allow an input from
the 1st display to abort the loop?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
