Inline for calling feedback screen in unreferenced objects

[Peter Quain]

...oh. not sure if e-basic accepts &vbCrLf as line space character. 
If not use \n instead:

Rest.text = "Thank you."&_
"\n" &_
"Take a rest now, and relax your eyes."&_
"\n" &_
"\n" &_
"ONLY  " & numleft & " BLOCKS TO GO NOW."&_
"\n" &_
"\n" &_
"Please stop complaining. Remember - you are doing this for course credit. "&_
"\n" &_
"Please wait for the experimenter to tell you when to begin the next 
block of trials."
