Gloss Eng and Gloss Nat
Jeff and Peg Shrum
I am having trouble with configuring my dictionaries. I have gloss English and gloss National, but a cannot seem to choose only one for a given dictionary. I want to be able to generate separate Vernacular-English and Vernacular-National language dictionaries not only a triglot. Is there a way to do this? I did not see a place to check only \ge or \gn.

printing from within FLEx? The main place things like "gloss
National" and \ge and \gn come into play in FLEx is when importing
from Toolbox. But maybe you're just using \ge and \gn as shorthand
for FLEx fields?
If you are in FLEx and are configuring your dictionary, for each
field you have the choice of which writing systems are displayed.
When you are in Configure Dictionary and click on, say, "Definition
or Gloss" (under the Sense expandable section), you should get a
window showing all of the writing systems (that are currently checked
in the Format/Set up Writing Systems dialog). By default the box for
"all writing systems" (or something that means that) is checked. But
there should be a box for each analysis writing system, and you can
check as many or as few of them as you want.
Yes, you can use Format/Set up Writing Systems to turn languages on
and off. But you don't have to--when configuring the dictionary, you
can control which shows on a per-field basis.
The thing we don't have (that I think you're wishing for) is the
ability to save different configurations for different dictionaries.
In the future we hope to do that, but it's not there yet.

Thanks, I have it working now. The more detailed information for each field
is normally hidden and I did not find them. I thought that I had clicked on
the "configure in more detail" link that is in the box to the right of the
list, but it must have be for another field. Anyway when I clicked on the
words "Definitions (or Gloss)" the detailed information on the writing
systems available for that field became visible. This was exactly what I
was looking for. I can't decide if it desirable or undesirable to have the
detailed information normally hidden. I am only a sample of one, and a
sometimes thick one at that, but now I have climbed a little higher on the
learning curve. I even enabled a custom field and gave it an italics style
so my dictionary output is coming along nicely. Thanks again. And, yes I
did import a Toolbox database and yes I am using the SFM's as a kind of
short hand.

I've only just noticed in the last few days that when I go searching for
entries beginning with ġ and ḳ that FLEX is handling them properly now
instead of separating them out into g" and k" and saying they weren't there.
So a big thank you to whoever fixed that for us. It was most frustrating the
way it was.
