Nominally, the script notes tokens which are NT's of other tokens,  
indicating that they are not top-level, and doesn't spit these out in  
the TopConcept list.  If we can produce a version of the text list  
(e.g. via application of cwm) where the NT's and BT's are correctly  
noted (i.e. if X  BT Y, then Y  NT X) then the list will at least be  
self-consistent.  Someone already mentioned that there is lots of  
room to reduce the number of top concepts dramatically, but this  
cannot be done by a script.....
