A couple of questions -reading the instructions really helps

[Eddie Dubourg]

By actually looking seriously at the help files, I've answered the first
question - it's directly answered in the help files and uses :-
Set list.TerminateCondition = TimedSeconds(30)
list.Reset

Well, that's the first egg on my face today......

U> I've two, hopefully minor queries.

U> The first - is there a method to allow a procedure to
U> execute for a set amount of time?  We have a hemispheric
U> observation task which has been scripted, but we need to
U> have a distractor task interleaved which will take the form
U> of 30 seconds of simple maths problems - I've sorted out all
U> bits, but can't work out how to restrict it to 30 seconds.
U>
U> Second, in another script, I have another observation task,
U> but the target words have to be preceded by two priming
U> words randomly selected from a list of about 10 words.
U> There will be 20 target words, so I have 20 lists of 10
U> words, and the lists will occur in a random order, and I
U> can't work out how to associate the target words with a
U> particular list of primes since the primes will occur randomly.
U>
U> I hope these confused witterings make some form of sense.

U> Thanks in advance,
