Corpora: Wordsmith question

[Van den Heuvel M Mev]

Hi everybody,

I'm having a spot of trouble with the Wordlist tool in the Wordsmith suite
that I hope someone out there can help me with. I want to compare two almost
identical word lists containing the entries of a pronunciation lexicon.
There are some inconsistencies between the lists, i.e. items missing in the
one that should be in the other and vice versa. I need to identify the
missing words. I thought that I could use the "compare word lists" function
in Wordlist for this purpose by setting the minimum frequency to 1 word, but
it's not working. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

If you don't have a quick answer to the Wordsmith problem, but know of
another tool that could help me do just this one little task with a few
button clicks, I would also appreciate your response!

TIA.
