First, my generic answer to the recurring question of, "Can E-Prime
<br>do this?" In short, almost certainly Yes; in full, E-Prime is a
<br>fairly full-featured computer programming platform, and can in
<br>principle do anything that a Universal Turing Machine (e.g., a
<br>stored-program computer) can do, subject to performance limitations
<br>(e.g., speed and storage capacity). In practice, E-Prime provides a
<br>better representation for some tasks than for others, as is true of
<br>any representational system for anything (grammar, images, time
<br>series, music, etc.).
<br>
<br>Second, for what you want to do, you should look first at the
<br>"Study-Recall" example that you may download from PST. Good luck!

<br>much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of
<br>it. 3) In addition, PST takes questions at their Facebook page
