Any tips for calling LKB from another program?

[David McMath]

Dear List,

My colleagues and I are developing an online course in English grammar for 
elementary school-aged children in the US.  We are investigating using LKB 
to determine whether some students' responses are proper sentences.  One 
part of our investigation (the part with which I am most concerned) hinges 
on how easily we can use LKB, called from a script, to determine whether a 
particular response is a sentence.  I have the book "Implementing Typed 
Feature Structure Grammars" by Ann Copestake, and section 8.15 seems to 
suggest we can probably do it, somehow.

My question is whether anyone has some advice that might be helpful.  All 
comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

dave
