how to measure the duration of a key press\ the time of it's release

[Ziv Ronel]

hello E-prime hive brain, 

I know it's probably dead simple but iv'e been at it for a week now.

i'm doing a study in which random pauses are introduced, in a frustrating 
matter, and the participants should press keys randomly in an attempt to 
make the program work. 

i need to measure how many frustrated keypresses there were, at what rate, 
and for how long each key was down (to measure these long angered key 
presses). 

I managed to create the first two, but haven't been able to measure 
duration. 
the only thing that came even close was this piece of code that I wrote:

        Dim theResponseObject As RteRunnableInputObject
Set theResponseObject = CRteRunnableInputObject(Rte.GetObject("Wait1"))

        Debug.Assert Not theResponseObject Is Nothing

Dim KeyReleaseTime As Long
If ebStatePress = 0 Then
KeyReleaseTime =  Clock.ReadMillisec
End If

        c.SetAttrib "KeyPress" & nIndex & "Release", KeyReleaseTime


(there is also a loop in there designed to redo that for every key press 
made in "wait1", but i've left it out)


HELP!
