    How do I put in to directRT text so that it appears as follows on the screen:
    You will be listening to a series of words.
    You will hear a series of 4 words: the first word you hear will be a real word. Listen carefully to how the first word sounds.
    The next three words will sound the same, but are slightly different.
    Your job is to match the first word to ONE of the next three words.

    When I put the text in 1 block of the stim as follows:
    ~You will be listening to a series of words.
    You will hear a series of 4 words: the first word you hear will be a real word. Listen carefully to how the first word sounds.
    The next three words will sound the same, but are slightly different.
    Your job is to match the first word to ONE of the next three words.
    I receive a various assortment of erros. Is there or isn't there a way to do the multiple lines?

    Have you tried using a text file stimulus? i.e., as noted with the # symbol. If not, take a look at some of the intro samples because some use text files for instructions in this manner.
