Dave,
Thank you for your advice and the reference. I was wary of reducing the analysis to a oneway model but I will now pursue that approach.

I don't have the answer you asked for, but another approach. It sounds
like you have one between subject factor (3 levels) and one within
subject factor (5 levels) and you have a significant interaction to
examine further. One way to follow up an interaction is to example the
simple effects, that is, to look either within a given stress level at
each repeated measure, which reduces to a oneway repeated measures
model, or to look at a given time period between stress levels, which
reduces to a oneway anova. It sounds like you want to do the latter,
in which case just do "oneway" if time is equal to the last period.
I've read that most packages use the error term from a simple oneway
anova for testing the between subject simple effects following an
interaction in your design, although the pooled term is more often
used for testing within subject simple effects at a given between
subject level following interaction. This is due to what violations
are more often expected in behavioral research (Maxwell and Delaney,
Designing experiments and analyzing data, 2nd edition, LEA publishers).
