using joystick input for version 1.1

[Matt Lenhart]

Mary,

Depending on which version of E-Prime 2.0 you ordered (i.e., Standard
or Professional), the Joystick will operate a bit differently. In both
versions, you will add the Joystick device via the Experiment object's
Property Pages. That is, you will double-click the Experiment object
at the top of the Structure window, navigate to the Devices tab, click
Add, and add the Joystick.

In E-Prime 2.0 Professional, you can then add the Joystick as an input
mask in the same manner as any other response device. In E-Prime 2.0,
response collection must be handled in InLine script (which we can
assist you with if necessary).
