exclude.cut file

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Jean,

    The reason why your +s switch didn't work was that you needed to include an asterisk, as in -s"*@wp"

Regarding the %gra line,  the specific lexical class is not supposed to be carried forward to that line, because that line deals with grammatical relations, not parts of speech.  

I think the problem here is that you are asking for the programs to do something that they do not currently do and are not supposed to be doing.  If you could explain what it is that you are trying to achieve, then maybe we can make more progress.   Perhaps we will need to modify something or perhaps there is another simple way of achieving what you want.   Please just send your ideas to me directly and, if we make any progress on this, I will post the results to CHIBOLTS.

Best regards,

-- Brian
