Vera,

Glad you got it to work, and thank you for a full presentation of your
solution!  But I feel I must provide an editorial reply to your own
editorial comment.

> I am still convinced that E-Prime should work without programming

In this case one solution does not require any code, as I demonstrate
above (unless I just do not fully understand your task).  But more
broadly, I just do not understand people who think that giving precise
instructions to a machine with infinite possibilities (i.e., a
Universal Turing Machine, look that up on Wikipedia) should "work
without programming",  any more than I would understand anyone who
thinks that scientific publications should "work without science-
speak".  I have looked at many other experiment generating systems
that "work without programming", and none of them, without
programming, come close to the capabilities of what E-Prime can do
because of its programming.  In fact, my sole reason for endorsing E-
Prime is precisely that it still includes a strong, conventional
programming language.  Please see my signature quote below.
