Re: [SHOEBOX] importing a text

Hey.

Amazing what you find when you look in the online documentation. The
problem was that I was using \t as the marker for importing texts; I
should have been using \id. I just tried it with \id and it worked
fine. but now I have to convince Shoebox that I really want to analyze
_echwosom_ as

\t echwosom
\m echwo -es -om
\g horse -PL -ACC

and not as

\t echwosom
\m e-    echwo -i    -os  -om
\g IMPF- horse -PAST -GEN -ACC
