Yes, this is what I did. I cut and pasted the sample
sentences into a single corpus file, and then
generated from that a sample sentence file that
repeats each sentence as many times as there are words
in the sentence. Thus, using Enlgish as an exmpale, "I
will run" will generate three separate lines in the
samples files:

i - I will run
run - I will run
will - I will run

The anchor names are the words themselves so the
dictionary entry for "run" only has to have the anchor
"#run" added to the link to the single samples file.
At this anchor will be all the sample sentences that
contain the word "run". You can see the actual sample
sentences file at http://fiziwig.com/concord.html
