beginners questions

[Yoed Kenett]

thank you all of your remarks
i am familiar with medialab and am not trying to make my life harder for
nothing. i am building a RT visual creativity exp which requires the subject
to enter his responses. so far ive been quite impressed with eprime as a
good experiment code program and therefor thought what i want to do can be
done with it
thanks, Yoed
