Need help setting up image-selection task

[David McFarlane]

Suli,

Since no one else has weighed in, I will 
now.  Glad you have taken the trouble to first 
explore the PST site and the examples provided 
there, you are on the right track.  Yes, what you 
want to do requires extensive coding that you 
would have to build up based on several of those 
examples plus your own skills.  I do not think 
there is a "quick fix".  As Michiel Spapé has 
said in a recent thread here, the "easy" fix 
would be to hire someone else to do this for 
you.  But that would not be quick, as it might 
take some time to find a competent E-Prime developer for hire.

My advice, as always, is instead to bite the 
bullet and take the slow way -- start with a 
course in Introduction to Computer Programming to 
get the underlying concepts and principles, and 
go from there.  To that end, please see my posts 
here on How to Solve E-Prime Puzzles, and How to 
Learn E-Prime Programming
