MLU Command Issue in the CHILDES Browsable Database

[Yasuhito KIDO]

Dear all,

Thank you for fixing the problem with MLU. MLU now works, but the same
file-access problem still occurs with KWAL in the Browsable Database.

In childes/Eng-NA/Brown/Adam/, I selected kwal and entered:
+tCHI +swant* +w2 -w2 020304.cha

The output was:
**** WARNING: No file matching "020304.cha" was found.

The file 020304.cha is displayed in the folder, and the same file can now
be processed with MLU. Could you please check the KWAL configuration as
well?

Yasuhito Kido
