    Edit the message text for non-English speaking subjects?

    [edited from support email]

    Can I change the 'header' text of the pop-up for the free text entry (it says: "if you're done, press enter" or something like that)? I don't have any English speaking subjects.

    Yes, you can change the text of any of the standard MediaLab messages. Take a look at the section on Preferences in the manual--specifically where it talks about files called messages.txt and substitute.txt. There are also alternate language graphics for "continue.bmp" and "goback.bmp" in the c:\medialab\graphics folder. If you don't see the one for your language, let us know and we'll try to make it for you asap.

    is there a way to make a fill-in-the-blank screen NOT display "press ENTER when you are finished," or whatever it says? I have a parameter of (d20) set, and I want to use that duration instead of having the participants press enter.
    See above and also the section on "Modify message text" in the user's guide or online here: http://www.empirisoft.com/medialab/h...prefs_messages

    The substitute.txt file (within my experiment folder) worked. Thanks!
