Dear Janet,<br>
Leonid answered the first part of your question. Regarding the second part, it is not clear whether you are trying to analyze the main line or the %mor line. You can control the processing of the plus or the underscore by using the +b switch in MLU. Presumably, the plus should be a delimiter and the underscore should not. Currently, the plus is not in the default delimiter set, but it should be and we will change that today so that people don't have to think about this.<br>

I am using the -s switch such as: <a href="mailto:-s@exclude.cut">-s@exclude.cut</a> in the command, but it does not seem to be working (when I use the same switch with the FREQ program, it does work). Is there a certain way the file has to be set up to exclude words for MLU? The "exclude.cut" file itself is located in the same working/library directory as the files I'm trying to analyze.<br>
