user button press

[tiburona]

Actually, reading  this:

http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/ab5a034086d67659

made me realize I could perhaps pull the same trick, and put two
slides up in sequence, the first with 0 duration and infinite time
limit that would take the mouse click and then jump to a label after
both slides, the second with infinite duration and infinite time limit
that would have the image with my sentence and the EchoClient that
would allow the participant to time the response.

in fact, maybe this layering isn't even necessary.  Maybe I can have
my keyboard EchoClient and my mouse button on the same SlideObject,
and just set the "Allowable" response on the mouse to the "next
button" Slide SubObject, and then choose terminate as the response.

I'm only writing this so I can spare anyone helpful enough to answer
me the trouble of outlining these elements of a solution in their
response.

(Incidentally, so far I am not having luck with the first method
because I can't figure out how to refer to my image file in the
"Allowable" box on the properties of the Mouse Input Mask.  I tried
imitating another E Studio experiment someone else in my lab did, and
calling it [Target1] and then putting a Target1 attribute in the--I
don't know the terminology here--parent list (?) for the procedure but
it's giving me one of those "-999: Factor Error: Filename contains an
invalid attribute"s.)
