How to get a list of all verbs in multiple transcripts after generating the .cex files?

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Lulu,
     MOR creates .cex by default, but when I use MOR and POST, I use them in combination with the +1 switch, so that my final file is still a .cha file.  Whenever I do this, I keep copies of the directories along the way to make sure I have backups, if I make mistakes.
