Dear Paul,

thanks a lot for this code. It works very well. There are some issued I 
have, though.

>From your script I understand that there are at least two ways of getting 
data from Matlab to E-Prime: Execute and getfullmatrix. Are there other 
ways?
Also, it seems that there is no way of transmitting a variable from E-Prime 
to Matlab, only string values such as "b = a + a".
Of course I could always use sth like 

Result = MatLab.Execute(CStr(eprimeVar))

If I wanted to get the variable eprimeVar from E-Prime to Matlab. But maybe 
there is an easier way?

Best,
Tobias
