Hi Aaron,

with respect to the rule-induction demo, it looks like there's been
some software rot that is making it fail (the demo is about 8 years
old now, there were some changes to the rule-induction code somewhere
along the lines, and we haven't really looked at this part of
PowerLoom and regression-tested it in quite some time).  I am not sure
whether we will attempt to fix this, Tom Russ has done some work on
the rule induction code in the past, maybe he has a quick fix for this.

With respect to `list-context': you can use the `save-module' command
to save the contents of a module to a file.  PowerLoom doesn't have an
equivalent (yet) that prints everything to standard output.
