Greetings,
I have a question from a colleague that I'll pass on to the two lists LTS and Toolbox, he says:

I am now wondering how to handle in Toolbox what we’re calling “sub-reversals”, to which I’ve given a separate code \sr. <a previous language worker> did it this way for the original dictionary back in 1992, which <they> somehow managed to compile using macros and a humongous Word file! Given <our> complex verb structure, I would like to be able to put in the Finder list all the permutations of a particular verb under its underlying sense, an perhaps listing each variation separately as well. At present, when I export the file to Lexique Pro the English Finder list doesn’t list the sub-reversals, so none those references appears. Listed below is one of the most complex ones, ‘go’. I would like to be able to have an indented list all of these under ‘go’, as well as under their more specific terms.

\lx alheyel
...
\re go

\lx  artenherreyel (W)
...
\re go
\sr follow, go behind

\lx  artenhirreyel (LN)
...
\re go
\sr follow, go behind

\lx  alpeyel
...
\re go
\sr go back, go home

\lx  atawarrelyel
...
\re go
\sr go down

\lx  aylpeyel
...
\re go
\sr go in
 
And this is what he's trying to achieve:
go............................alheyel
  follow, go behind...........artenherreyel (W)
                              artenhirreyel (LN)
  go back, go home............alpeyel
  go down.....................atawarrelyel
  go in.......................aylpeyel
