[Mne_analysis] trigger information

Mon Apr 5 16:07:36 EDT 2010

Thank you for the help, but I don't think it is a syntax issue.  It is
more... did the scanner store the button responses in the STI channel. 
When I run the command, it writes out the .eve file with relevant
information. It is just missing the critical button response information.
Is there another way to process the raw file and hopefully extract the
response triggers?  Mne_browse_raw also shows no response triggers.
