you asked a question the answer to which is really quite complicated to communicate to someone brand-new to the eprime programming environment. at least, i had difficulty trying to answer it in a clear fashion. David is consistently and patiently responding to questions of this sort on an almost daily basis it seems - just look back at forum questions and answers over the course of the last year. David has probably responded to and possibly solved 80% of all questions asked here. i, myself, might respond to 1 in a hundred help requests, at best. David is all over this forum.<br>
please re-read David's post, minus any assumption that he is being spiteful. he's asking an honest question.<br>if you ask a question that is easy to answer, there are those of us on this forum more than happy to help. when you ask a more complicated question, sometimes we'll have time to help, and other times when we're busy doing our own work we'll wonder to ourselves, "why didn't they hire a programmer to help with this?" we've all got our own jobs to do.<br>
David has been an incredible resource for this forum, and not one to instigate any kind of "flame war". please don't take offense at what he wrote, as i don't believe it was meant to be offensive.<br>thanks David, and Bas, i hope my suggesting regarding how to present your TimeBeam was helpful.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Dear David McFarlane, we dont really understand where your frustration<br>
is coming from. We thought the use of this forum was that experienced<br>
E-Prime users could help out less-experienced users.<br>
To answer your question ("Do you want to be a psychologist who dabbles<br>
<div>in computer programming, or instead a computer programmer<br>
</div>who dabbles in psychology?"): Neither. We are two medicine students<br>
who are currently working on our scientific internship, we are a 3th<br>
and 4th year students. We've been assigned by our supervising<br>
professor with the task develope this E-prime test described in our<br>
previous mail. The (programming) basis for this test was already set<br>
for us and we wanted to improve it by adding a time-beam and voice-<br>
over text (we already succeded in the latter). So we are still in the<br>
"learning"-progress and we do enjoy it. Maybe if you could assist us<br>
with our E-prime problems we could assist you in your apparent social-<br>
skills' problems. We don't accept the tone you adress us with, we<br>
thought we could get some help here, but apparently we need to find<br>
some other way.<br>
<br>
Dear Michiel Spape, we succeded so far in programming our test, we<br>
just have our last few errors in completing it. We have the getting<br>
started guide (along with the users's guide and the reference guide).<br>
We just weren't able to extract the informating for u time beam during<br>
1 trial out of these books.<br>
<br>
Well, we cant really thank you.<br>
<br>
Greats,<br>
<br>
Oisin and Bas<br>
