Buttons

[gilis]

thanks,
I tried to open this example : http://www.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/samples.asp?Mode=View&SampleID=5
however for some reason it can't be open on my computer (it's the
first example I can't opent for some reason). It's a zipped file and
after I extracted it to new folder I found no running file (instead,
only the stimuli images and the full scripot of the experiment in a
txt file-and from there it's quite hard to follow..)   Can you tell me
whether you managed to run it please? or else if you have it in a
readable file...
Best Wishes
Gilis
