Hi Dave,

Thanks for your last post to me previous. As a consequence, as per your suggestion in your last post to me I am coming to you for help with a new question/problem with regard to my RSVP task. :-)

As I said in my previous post, the task as I've set it up works really well. The latest difficulty is that I want it to do something beyond what its been doing, specifically with one of my two word lists within the main task. So what I want it to now/next be able to do is to do with the lags. Because that one word list is really made up of four different word lists, I'm not entirely sure about how to set things up/change the set up such that I can have a certain amount of different lags in each of the four different word lists that are currently making up the one word list.

My thinking is that perhaps this is at least in part about using more <text> sections, maybe as in going from having the one: <text target2>  
to having four:   <text target2_1>
                       <text target2_2>
                       <text target2_3>
                       <text target2_4>
each with its own list of words. The difficulty with this seems to me that then maybe I'm also going to have to use branching somehow so as to move from between the different target 2 word lists? Is that right?
Another issue then is that if it is in fact possible to do it this way then what I'm going to be necessarily doing is going from one word list to the next etc. in succession, whereas my preference is there any way of getting the task to still select at random a word from a different word list - since it's only really the lags that I want greater control over. (But that said, I would still prefer that that the word taken from within a given category of those four categories at any given time is not in a sense designated to a particular type of lag, but instead which lag goes with a given word within the category is randomized - with a certain number of lags allowed for each of the four categories.)

I hope this makes sense. I can try to explain in greater detail if you would like me to, I'm just not certain about how to do that at this moment...

Anyway, I'm hoping that you might help with this and am also hoping that perhaps your ideas are less fiddly than the way I was imagining how I can perhaps potentially put together this version of the task. :-)

And finally, thanks again for your previous help - and nice comments in response to my last post.
