I apologize for asking this question re: using syntax tree diagramming 
programs:

I'm working on Linux now, so I've been poking around at using the online 
syntax tree diagramming sites like Miles Shang's Syntree, RSyntaxTree, 
and jsSyntaxTree.

What I can't figure out is how to have an arrow go from a label to a 
non-continuous member of a structure. For example:

With "Jamie turned the light out", how to have an arrow go from the PV 
(phrasal verb) label to the Prt label and a line going straight down 
from VP to the NP ("the light"):

I'm (shamefully) new to tree diagramming software. Feel free to reply to 
me off list so others aren't bothered by such basic instruction.
