Dear Segios, For repeated-measures designs, the Anova() function requires a multivariate linear model fit to the "wide" version of the data set, in which each of the repeated measures appears as a separate variable. It is necessary that you have the same occasions observed for all subjects. For your scaled-down example, you'd have two response variables named, e.g., Sessn1 and Sessn2. Then you'd fit the multivariate linear model as mod <- lm(cbind(Sessn1, Sessn2) ~ Trtmnt, data=Dataset). The idata data frame could simply be idata <- data.frame(Sessn=factor(1:2)). Then you could get the MANOVA and repeated-measure ANOVA, including sphericity test, etc., as summary(Anova(mod, idata=idata, idesign=~Sessn)).
