newText=''

    newText = newText+recallitems[Idx]
    if Idx == thisitem:
        newText = newText+cursorVariable
    newText = newText + '\n'

if newText != displayText:
    displayText=newText
    recall_text.text=displayText

This auto translates with one serious exception.

for (var Idx = 6, _pj_a = thisitem; (Idx < _pj_a); Idx += (- 1)) {
needs to be corrected to
for (var Idx = 6, _pj_a = thisitem; (Idx > _pj_a); Idx += (- 1)) {

Also, since the text is centred locally but left justified online, I set the local cursor to lash between ‘|’ and ‘.’ instead of ‘|’ and ’ ’ .

core.quit(); also needs to be edited to psychoJS.quit();
