GEM with +d not producing any output files

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Zeynep,
    GEM was not designed to do this.  It is designed to pick out blocks of CHAT transcript, not to send things to a spreadsheet.  There are other programs for his and you could use GEM as an initial filter and then run those other programs.
     I wonder whether you really want to rely on Excel in this way.  Excel is not designed to for further analysis of text.  What is your student trying to find or figure out?
      Also, which corpus are you using?
