Is it possible to have medialab simply exit when it completes the experiment rather than asking if the user wants to start the next session?
Thanks,
Jeff

If you start the session as a batch file (as above), then this won't happen. If you are using an autostart file then you will always be asked I believe. There are often workarounds for stuff like that though--e.g., if you are concerned about subjects clicking "yes" to start the next session, you can simply insert a password protected screen at the end of the session so that only you or an RA can proceed.
Will this work in ML 2004?

It might. I think we may have been testing this functionality in some of the final 2004 releases.
It works in ML 2004! I copied the example of the bat file syntax, modified it for our case, and saved it as a bat file.

I would like to run my study by having the id number read from the autostart.txt file but have the subject enter the condition. I am using the batch start and played around with the ,0,0 option but could not figure out a way to have MediaLab ask for the condition before starting.
The reason for this is that it is very difficult to balance cells using autostart because the workstations being used change from day to day. It is not practical to change the id number in the .bat file everyday.
Could you just avoid the batch file and use an autostart file which enters the subject ID but prompts for the condition?
