I think Volkmar's solution is a good one:  "Alternatively, you may want to load 
the text file into your MATLAB workspace (or create the onsets variable there) 
and enter the variable name in the input dialog."

Cutting and pasting is pretty unreliable if you're doing a lot of it.  Giving the 
onset times names and then typing the names in the input dialog is much more 
reliable, and less labor-intensive.  The only thing required is understanding 
how to get the onset time data loaded into matlab in such a way that you can 
do this.
