Excluding utterances on PAR line

[Leonid Spektor]

Post-codes are an exception to regular codes. If you want to exclude data associated with post-codes, then you need these options:

-s"[+ exc]" -s"[+ per]" -s"[+ jargon]"

if you want to exclude post-code's codes themselves, i.e. "[+ exc]", "[+ per]" and "[+ jargon]", which is redundant, because they are excluded by default anyway, then you need  these options:

-s"<+ exc>" -s"<+ per>" -s"<+ jargon>"

Post-codes and pre-codes are treated differently than regular codes. If you are not sure, then I would suggest to just type a command, like FREQ, by itself in commands window and you will get quick description of what those options do. For example, if you type FREQ, then under line "+sS: search for word S in an input file." you will see description of differences between codes and post-codes.
