KWAL ignoring repetitions

Brie,

	KWAL outputs the whole tier and not just one particular unit of a word. The command you have does in fact output your ideal KWAL output. Perhaps you should use FREQ command instead of KWAL, since you are looking for word units?

Essentially, whenever I try to run the command, the analysis looks within the targets that we write after the errors [: fairy], which we write purely for ourselves so we know why we coded a certain way. We would like to exclude any word from within a target [: fairy] from the KWAL analysis.
