color=#0000ff size=2>In the first usage, there is no way to know whether a
number of tries has been reached, as Xerte keeps looking for a mtached phrase
after each keypress. The interaction doesn't increment tries for each keypress
as this doesn't make sense - you only want tries to increment each time the user
submits a word. As users don't submit a word in the first approach, tries won't
work as you want. You need to use the second usage.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

then the match happens each time enter is pressed, and your code runs to
check the user's answer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
