I think I do, but I'll be able to double-check tomorrow evening.

Right.  I'll get that to you on Tuesday.

Great, thanks so much.

Yes.  It would be nice to browse the MRSs, but you're right: the main
thing I need is the export.  I've got output from the script, but it's
unexpectedly under-annotated.  I've sent a separate message about this
to redwoods at delph-in.net.  Is that the right place for that question,
or should I repost it here?

Thanks again for your help,
Tommy
