Running outside program in MediaLab

[jarvis24]

So what exactly would you type on the Run command so you would not have to be prompted for a script?

Sorry for delay in replying. I was able to find out how to get the other program to run as an exe item type. It doesn't run entirely by itself, but this means that we have the opportunity to be sure that our participants understand the task before they begin it. It's now running in a way that I am very happy with.

Thanks for you help on this issue.

Thanks for the update. Was there anything special you had to do to make it work as an exe item?

I think it was a matter of having all of the files for both programs on the same drive (e.g. C:\) and having a .init file in the same folder as the .exp file. Every once in a while the outside program crashes when it starts anyways.

Thanks again!
