multiple response recording with no feedback display

[David McFarlane]

Have you tried submitting this to PST Web Support at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/login.asp ?  They seem to 
offer help for these things from time to time.

>I've just about completed the eprime program for an experiment
>involving participants making repetitive responses to an auditory
>stimulus (within a slide).  The participant response does not
>terminate the slide; instead the slide repeats at an exact timed rate
>(determined by a "length" variable in the above list which is referred
>to in the duration tab).  Participants respond every time they hear
>the sound.  [the sound file consists of a period of silence, the beep,
>then more silence hence allowing for responses either side of the
>beep].  I need to record the time stamp of multiple responses per
>slide e.g. up to three or four, as participants may anticipate the
>beep, and press early, recorrect their mistake and press during, or
>anticipate the next beep during the current stimulus.  All these
>responses are acceptable but I need to record the time of each/any/no
>responses.
