Hi Annette:
I have been using E-Prime for about a year. It is much easier to
use than what I remember about MEL. The documentation is still
pretty weak. Version 2 has been out for over a year and their
manuals are still for version 1.0. The program is still
hardware-protected with a dongle. Their official tutorial is
mainly click-here, now click-here, now click-there, with little
explanation. But, if you fight your way to competence, then you
will find it is an easy program to use in many ways.
Here is what I did. I went through the tutorial slowly about 3
times, each time I did more what-happens-if-I-do-that
exploration. After two or three such passes I began to get a feel
for the E-Prime approach.
The company maintains several programs that replicate classic
experiments. They were worthwhile to download and analyze. I
have used some of them as organizational models of how to
implement a procedure.
There are lots of "intro" links floating about. But here is a
link to what looks like to be a good book. I haven't had time to
work my way through it. Here is the link:

I know Lel evolved into e-prime and I imagine that after 20 years the
support staff has changed quite a bit. I wonder if anyone on the list
has any experience with it. What level of comp programming proficiency
would someone need. Could undergrad students with no comp sc background
use it?
Also, does anyone have experience with medialab. How about any other
software tools out there for psychology? Biopac?
We have a MODEST windfall and thought we'd look into acquiring some
general purpose software that could be used by those of us with bio,
cog, social labs.
