How to schedule "breaks" within a block?

[cshalloran at gmail.com]

Hello Community,

I have no coding background. I am brand new to E-Prime, and I need help.

I am designing an experiment in which I have 48 unique samples, weighted 2, 
random order, that I wish to separate into 4 equal "blocks" in order to 
give our volunteer subjects cognitive breaks from the task. That is, I want 
a break screen with no time limit that the subject can leave by pressing 
{SPACE} and then continue with the next randomized sample (numbers 25, 49, 
or 73, as appropriate), randomized as if that break screen was not there 
and the subject was running through the 96 samples consecutively. I know I 
could program 4 blocks to each be followed by my desired break screen, but 
this would result in a constraint on the randomness of the sample 
presentation that I wish to avoid.

Is it possible to code into the script something to the effect:

After Sample = 24, 48, and 72, then Go To BreakScreen.
After {SPACE}, then Go To Sample 25, 49, and 73, respectively.

If such is possible, can you help me learn how to write this code and then 
insert it properly into the script generated by E-Studio?

Thank you,
~C.S.
