Designing the multi-stimuli Experiment

Tue Apr 1 14:31:29 UTC 2014

Dilip,

The Getting Started Guide and the User's Guide contain several 
valuable tutorials that will answer many of your questions.  Please look again.

And just a reminder -- You may indeed use E-Prime in Evaluation mode 
for learning and exploring E-Prime.  But if you program a real 
experiment in Evaluation mode, then, when you get a full license, you 
will have to manually rebuild your program from scratch.

Regards,
-- David McFarlane
