Dear Florence,
     This command:  cooccur +n6 +ssee sample.cha   seems to work pretty well. Here is the output on the sample.cha file in the /samples folder:

 1  hey nicky want to see what
    1  nicky want to see what other
    1  see what other neat toys there
    1  to see what other neat toys
    1  want to see a more toys
    1  want to see what other neat
    1  you want to see a more

The problem here is that often the target word is not actually going to have three words before or after it, because it appears early or late in the utterance.  If you try to find only the cases that have three words before and after, you will miss many instances of your target word.
