window/box for answers limited time

Hello guys,

it's my first time working with Inquisit. 
I need a window or box where participant could write down multiple answers or different words, for example a textbox. 
The other problem is, for each word the participant has 2 minutes to give as many answers as possible. 

My questions are how to create a window or box where participant can fill in answers in a limited time (2 minutes)?

Thanks for your help!

You'll want to use the <openended> element for this:

<expt>
/ blocks = [1-4=myblock]
</expt>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=myopenended]
/ timeout = 120000
</block>

<openended myopenended>
/ stimulusframes = [1=word, instructions]
/ branch = [if (openended.myopenended.response != "") openended.myopenended]
/ position = (50%, 70%)
</openended>

<text word>
/ items = ("A", "B", "C", "D")
/ select = noreplace
/ selectionrate = block
/ resetinterval = 0
</text>

<text instructions>
/ items = ("Enter a single word and hit 'submit'. If you can't of any word, leave the input box blank and hit submit to move on.")
/ position = (50%, 10%)
</text>
