Count Trials

[liwenna]

ho... I just notice this now... the last bit of the above post is to
be ignored... when I start writing the post I copy pasted that piece
of code that I use for practicetrials thinking I might tweak it into a
script for Sandra to use, but that didn'thappen and thus I should have
removed the code-part, but apparantly forgot...
