I am having very little success creating a language model class.  Whenever I go to load the model the system comes back with "error in LM".  I followed the example for the turlte class and that works fine.

The corpus I uploaded was
COMMUNICATOR dial [what] [number]
COMMUNICATOR dial [what] [name]
COMMUNICATOR hang up

I created the .ctl and .def files and added the words in the .def file to the dictionary.  I upload the corpus to the website but the .lm will not load.  I did set the command line arguments to use a ctl file instead of the .lm file.
The [number] are simply numbers and [what] is a title like professor, nurse, etc.

Also, does anyone know how to use the stand alone tools to create a .lm class.  Whenever I try I get values like -99.9990 in the .lm file and [name] gets replaced with name in the .lm file.

Any help would be appreciated.
