Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help.  I was able to change the style for the scientific
name to my liking.  I'm still having trouble with changing the sort order,
but I'm going to give it another try before I ask for more help on that.

I do have another question about MDF export.

I'd like the contents of the \va - variant field to appear first thing after
the lexeme, as in

av        Variant: am. V. to eat. Ref: WB verbs pátha áamti. "Eat by
yourself!" 

How would I make that happen?

Thanks again,
Susan Gehr
