more coding questions

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Cathy,
    The problem here might be the fact that you need to put a space after the plus for [+ rel].  I am assuming that
you are placing this code at the end of the utterance as a post code.  Also, FREQ can definitely count these and KWAL
can search for them.  The command would be

freq +s"[+ rel]" *.cha

See Table 4 in section 10.6 of the CLAN manual.
