searching a large number of phrases in COMBO

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Nan,
     If you want to search for a large number of phrases, then you would want to put these many phrases into a file with one phrase on each line, as in

put me in the zoo
please sit down

You don’t need quotes or carets.  Then you  use FREQ or KWAL with the +s at filename.cut <mailto:s at filename.cut> switch.
