Problem detecting key releases

Forgive me if you've I'm just going over old ground, but to get E-Prime to 
recognize Releases, you have to do two things.  First you must enable 
Releases in the appropriate input object, e.g., Edit > Experiment > 
Devices > SRBOX > Collection Mode > Presses and Releases.  From your 
message, you have already done that.  Second, in your display/input object, 
you must set Allowable to include releases using the "-" notation, e.g., 
{-ANY} will allow all key releases, {ANY}{-ANY} will all all key presses 
and all key releases.  Please see the "{key} nomenclature" topic in the 
online E-Basic help.
