Gem and MLU + STATFREQ

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Dongping,
     You can use GEM as the "frontend" for MLU and other programs by  
using the "piping" feature. Section
  2.3.5 of the introductory tutorial desccribes this a bit and there  
are further descriptions in section 7 Exercises.
Basically, GEM just does the work of narrowing down the material that  
will go into FREQ with the +d2 option to produce a STATFREQ input.
