? = Needs verification

STATEMENTS

Every line in a WinCALIS script must begin with one of the following marker characters:

S @ Default As needed - may occur anywhere in script

S # Task label One per task - must occur in every task (max. 15 characters)

U K Keyboard One per script - may occur anywhere, but will take effect at start

U L Default font One per script, (e.g., LArial) - may occur anywhere, but will

take effect at start

S C Lesson desc. One per line of lesson description

S ! Directions One per line of directions - may occur in any task

S / Text One per line of text - may occur in any task

S ? Question One per line of question - must occur in every task but #0 or #end

U % Variable As needed - variable declaration and initialization, of form

%stringvariable1$="value" or %numvariable=integer value

S + Correct answer One per correct answer - at least one must occur in every task

S - Incorr. answer One per anticipated error - may occur in any task

S = Neutral repeat One per anticipated neutral response - may occur in any task

response (reexecute every statement in task afterwards)

S $ Neutral no-rep. One per anticipated neutral response - may occur in any task

response (do not reexecute statements in task afterwards)

S & Spillover line As needed - may follow +,-,=, or $ statements

S #0 This is the first task executed in every CALIS script.

S #end This is the last task executed in every CALIS script.

WILD CARDS

Within correct answer and anticipated incorrect statements, the following

characters have special significance.

S ^ Matches any single character

S [ ] Matches any one of the enclosed characters

S [n1-n9] Matches any one of the enclosed characters in Unicode sequence n1 .. n9

S * Matches any sequence of characters within word

S & Matches any sequence of characters, including blanks and null character

S | Matches alternatives separated by vertical bar

S { | } Matches any one of enclosed possibilities (separated by vertical bars)

OTHER RESPONSE LINE SYMBOLS

S ; Separates anticipated student response from corresponding feedback.

Used in correct (+) incorrect (-) and neutral (=, $) response statements.

S \ Allows literal use of ; and wild card characters within student

response. Place \ before the character. Example: The statement

+\&;(feedback) will reply 'Correct' and give appropriate feedback if

the student enters the character & (and only &).

SPECIAL RESPONSES

Special responses occur in the student answer portion of anticipated response statements. All

CALIS special responses, commands, and options are composed of one or more keywords in

capital letters, which are surrounded by opening and closing angle brackets (< >). Keywords

must be separated by one or more delimiters. Delimiters include the space character ( ), the

colon (:), the semicolon (;), and the comma (,). Multiple delimiters are permitted.

U <BUTTON name [CLICKED|CHECKED|UNCHECKED]> Defines action by WinCALIS if

student clicks (checks, doesn't check)

hot button created with <BUTTON> command.

U <BUTTON name1 DRAGDROP name2> Defines action by WinCALIS if student drags

and drops hot button name1 created with

<BUTTON> command onto hot button name2.

U <ENTER> Accepts pressing the [Enter] key (with no other characters typed)

as a student response. May be used in a correct answer (+) or

anticipated incorrect response (-), and may be followed by a

separator (;) and appropriate feedback.

U <GIVEUP> Defines action by WinCALIS if student ends task with the Giveup key

[F6]). Must be used in an anticipated incorrect (-) statement,

and should be followed by a separator (;) and appropriate feedback.

U <IF:mark$ = variable$> response, stored in response$, or text marked,

U <IF:numvariable LT|=|GT value> stored in mark$, matches the value of variable$,

or expression numvariable=value returns true. Valid

operators are 'LT' (less than), '=' (equal to), and 'GT'

(greater than).

U <KEY 'x'> Defines action taken immediately by WinCALIS if student

U <KEY SHIFT 'x'> presses the 'x' key, the shifted 'x' key, or the 'x' key

U <KEY CONTROL 'x'> with the Ctrl key or Ctrl+Shift keys depressed, without

U <KEY CONTROL SHIFT 'x'> pressing [Enter]. 'CONTROL' and 'SHIFT' not case-sensitive.

rectangular area with upper left corner at mark1 and

lower right corner at mark2.

U <OR> Defines action by WinCALIS if any special response in a series separated

by <OR> operators is true. E.g,

+<MOUSE yes1 yes2><OR><KEY 'y'>;feedback.

May not be used in combination with text responses.

U <PASS> Defines action by WinCALIS if student passes a task with one of the

Pass keys (gray [+], Ctrl+PageDown, gray [-], Ctrl+PageUp). Must be used

in an anticipated incorrect (-) statement, and should be followed by a separator

(;) and appropriate feedback.

U <PASSBACK> Defines action by WinCALIS if student passes back on a task with Pass Back

key grey [-] or Ctrl+PageUp or the Pass Back menu item). Must be used in

an anticipated incorrect (-) statement, and should be followed by a separator

(;) and appropriate feedback.

U <+KEY> Accepts pressing the grey "+" or "-" key on the numeric keypad as a
