using joystick input for version 1.1

[Matt Lenhart]

Hi Mary,

E-Prime v1.x is capable of recording responses from a joystick, but
only the buttons will be recognized as input. The current version is
not capable of reading the joystick position along an x/y axis. This
only applies to joysticks that connect through the parallel or game
ports.

Joystick support for buttons, sliders, POV controls, and x-y-z
position, is available in E-Prime 2.0. Please see
http://pstnet.com/products/e-prime/faq/efaq2.htm for more information
on upgrading.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
