Hi Jenifer,
I did a little minor surgery on an ascii export of the vocabulary file
for NGL.

Where I saw :

//itm nglword
(other stuff)
//def vaibe

I removed the leading slashes. The way I did this was to substitute a
space for the two slashes. I think you could globally substitute a tab
for the space after itm or def. For the entries between them, you could
delete. I did this with the vi editor in unix using the substitute
command, I hope you have access to it or maybe an ordinary word
processor would do it. I have shoebox on my desktop but haven't gotten
around to using it, someone else would have to help with that if there
is a way.  If you have vi and get stuck I could reference my manuals
and write you a command. Good luck,

Jerry
