Sorry about that, something is triggering the send function when I get to
the bottom of a window.
I meant to say:
Gee, Guy, looks like you answered my second "option" question before you
even read it.
I presume, from what you say below, you could do
<problem>
<part id="A">
<randomlist show="4"> (or some other number less than the total in the
list)
<stringresponse id="1"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="2"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="4"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="5"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="6"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="7"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="8"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="9"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="10"></stringresponse>
Etc,etc,etc to as many as you want
</randomlist>
</part>
</problem>
And maybe even omit the "part" tags?
Where are features like <randomlist> tags discussed? I don't find the term
in the Author's manual.
