using joystick input for version 1.1

[mary]

Thanks so much!  We got the Eprime 2.0 Standard version, so what are
the steps for using the joystick as input in the inline script?  I
already added the joystick as an input device for the Experiment
Object as you suggested.

Also, what kind of information should I expect to receive from a
joystick?  Would it be possible to just get input when the person
presses a button after they adjust the joystick to a particular angle?

Thanks,
Mary
