Looking for turn in a transcript

[Diane Pesco]

You should be able to kwal out 133 utterances using a command like kwal
+d +o@ +t*CHI +z133u filename then do analyses on kwal'ed version.  You
can also create gems within your file (e.g. insert to file @bg:
133utterances at the outset and an @eg: 133utterances after the 133rd
utterance; then you can run the freq command on the gem.  Hope this helps!
