adding and subtracting

Matt,

Only if you can assign each sequence in advance 
withouth regard to subject responses.  In that 
case you might just put each possible sequence of 
values in a List and roll out the chosen sequence 
as needed.  Otherwise, you will need inline code.

>, can anyone direct me to some script that adds or subtracts?

Not me.  Best to take care of that yourself, 
start studying Chapter 4 of the User Guide that 
came with E-Prime, you will need some inline 
code, as well as some global variables defined in 
the User Script area.  Even better, start with an 
Introduction to Computer Programming class to get 
some basic computer programming concepts.

Good luck,
