Subject: arabiCorpus downloads

It has always been possible to 'choose' (highlight) and copy the citations from arabiCorpus.byu.edu and paste them into a spreadsheet or other such program for later manipulation.  However, since arabiCorpus only shows the results 100 lines at a time, this process can be tedious if there are hundreds, or thousands, of citations.  I have thus added a new option, called 'download citations'.  If you choose this option, a tab delimited file with all the citations will be downloaded to your computer.  You can then open this file is some program for further manipulation.
One needs to be fairly careful with this file, since some programs will order the (parts of the) lines one way, and some another, so you need to pay attention to which part is the '10 words before', and which part the  '10 words after'.  But once you get used to it, this could be a good time-saver for heavy users.
