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

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Amanda,
    KWAL never had a +c switch.  I don't believe that the +c switch for FLO was designed to remove empty utterances.  As I suggested earlier, for such specialized removals, you would want to use something like BBEdit or Sublime Edit. I would do this before a final run of FLO.

FLO changes it to *MOT: .  <-- +c1 seems like it might do this in KWAL (9.17.3 in the manual) but +c doesn't do the same thing with every command and doesn't seem available with FLO. Do I need to do a first pass with KWAL and pipe the results into FLO?  Or vice versa?

The first generates an empty file called myanalyses plus lots of individual files while the second yields an error message. Again should I be combinging FLO with something else to get the output I want.
