Millisecond Forums

Hello guys, 
 I managed to add a rest in my Lexical judgement task by running a different <trial> in a an assigned <block>. However, I am still struggling into how to modify the existing script for self paced reading, such that it would allow a rest break  after a particular item number. I would really appreciate if you can help me with this issue.
