Right now I have a decision icon with three different decision paths attached
to it. The decision icon is set to select one of the three paths randomly (to
unused path) and to be repeated a fixed numer of times. At the end of each path
participants have to give a keypress response and this response has to be
saved. But because the procedure is being repeated multiple times, only the
last input is being saved... How can I design this procedure as simple as
possible so that the input is being saved after each trial?
Thanks is advance!

Where are you wanting to save it?

On a more fundamental level, it looks like you're just starting out learning
Authorware. Are you aware that there will never be another version of
Authorware, and the current version is several years old? The possibility
is that Authorware may not work with whatever the next version of Windows
is. I think it already does not work on the latest Mac version. There is
no guarantee of future browser compatibility. So whatever effort you're
putting in to learning Authorware is not going to help you in the years to
come.

You may want to discuss with whoever asked you to build something in
Authorware that whatever you are building may not have a long lifespan, and
suggest that your time might be better spent learning a product that is
better supported, like Captivate.

I see, but I still have to build this right now for my internship... and it has
to be ready next week...
I want to save it on a directory on the computer... I already have a
calculation included at the end of the flowline, which saves all the input in
D://Exp//jointattention.dat. But as I said, it only saves the input from the
repeating decision paths once... Is it really difficult to set this up so that
the input will be saved each time the path is used? Or is it easyer to put ten
decision icons on the flowline, each with new calculation icons and new
variable names?
Thanks in advance!

Use AppendExtFile instead of WriteExtFile.
