Ok, let's assume you're running queries on EUROPARL-EN.  In command line CQP, the alignment display is treated like other attributes, so simply type

	show +europarl-de +europarl-fr;

and German + French translations for each match will be shown on separate lines.  You can turn off the display with "show -europarl-de;" etc.  Aligned queries work like in the Web interface.

In the current version of CQP, there's a nice trick to display alignment beads.  You can set the kwic context to an alignment attribute, e.g.

	set context europarl-de;

Then each match will be displayed in the context of its English-German alignment bead.

Hope this helps,
Stefan
