Switches in FLO (+u or >>, +c1) and making a list of speaker IDs

[Amanda Owen Van Horne]

Thanks so much. FLO did such a good job of cleaning out retracings and () 
in funny places that I was using it. I'll go back and start over with KWAL 
and then, as you suggest, run FLO at the end. Thanks too for the command to 
extract a list of all speakers.  I had tried several very wrong ways and 
never got close.  That's super helpful!
