responses

I'm attempting to use the responses.xls file and having a few problems. In my experiment I have three experimental groups with five conditions each. I want to give a pretest to determinte which condition participants are grouped into. I've created a responses.xls file that calculates a numeric value (1-5) that let's experimenters know which condition to run based on pretest results. I want that number to be presented at the end of the pretest questionnaire but, I'm unable to get MediaLab to present this value. I have the responses.xls file inside of a folder called "pretest" that includes the pretest questionnaire file. Within the responses file the variable is called "group" which I try to present using <group>, but to no avail.

When I run tests, the numbers in the data files are manipulated properly (that is, within the excel files, the numbers change appropriately and the proper numeric value is selected), so I'm not sure where the problem could be. Additionally, I was wondering how to format post-session reports. I've looked through the manual and I'm still fuzzy on the issue; I can't find where it says "print.sheet1 no print.sheet2 no". I'll include my reponses file and the pretest questionnaire.

Thanks in advance for your help.
