I'm using the WSCT task. i want to include a text "Press e to exit" at all times during all times and end the task all together. How can I do that?

You could use the "end experiment" command, look here for details: link to documentationFor example, you can add to your keys, here is an example below: task MyTask
keys a l e
show bitmap MyStimulus
readkey 1 10000
if KEY == 3
end experiment
fi
if STATUS == CORRECT
show bitmap well_done
fi
save RT STATUS
With the example above, you basically check when people press an "e" and if that happens, the experiment ends.
Note this can only be pressed when the script is waiting for a response, not at "any time". But typically this works well. Add to the instruction that people can press the e to end and they will understand. Given that the WCST works with the mouse, you can also have an exit button and check for that instead.
Have you considered task switching instead of the WCST as well. It is a better way to measure mental flexibility in the healthy population:
