Re: [Pebl-list] help with Berg's Card Sorting Test

[yaakov t. <yaa...@gm...>]

Hello Shane.
Thank you so much for your help.
sadly, after two weeks of tryouts , you are now my only hope.
It doesn't seem to work.
A. it doesn't do anything when timeis up.
B. for some reasons changing the property to 0, for using the keyboard
instead of the mouse, doesn't seems to work either.

Sorry for the trouble, but,
Do you think you could help me?

The adjusted file is attached here.
Thanks again,
Yaakov.
