Claudia,

You and liw are already working this out.  I just wanted to add that 
you can get more information about using special characters for 
Allowable and Correct by looking at the "(key} nomenclature" topic in 
the E-Basic Help facility.  Also to reiterate that to accept "no 
response" as a "response" you logically need to set a Duration for 
the stimulus to expire, and a Time Limit for the input mask that gets 
the response (typically leave that at (same as duration), unless you 
want to use "Extended Input" -- work through Appendix C of the User's 
Guide that came with E-Prime).
