E-Prime Reference GuideChapter 2: E-Basic

Chapter 1Chapter 1: E-Basic: E-BasicE-Basic is the complete scripting language underlying E-Prime. E-Basic is almost identical to Visual Basic for Applications, with additional commands inserted to accommodate the needs of empirical research. For detailed information concerning E-Basic commands, refer to the on-line Help. The E-Basic on-line Help may be accessed via the E-Prime menu.
