I really welcomed the concept that Troy put forward in his Sword 2 prototype.  He allowed setting up a whole range of floating child windows that could be whatever the user wanted them to be, and positioned wherever he wants.  It was very simple to use, and suited me perfectly.  I was sorry no one ever took the concept up.  I'd love to be able to define the two or three views I want.  In my case, one of them would be four linked windows side by side containing two different bibles and two different commentaries.  Another of them would be a simple one single bible full screen, and yet another would be a bible plus commentary and lexicon (though I rarely need that configuration .... )

For my purposes, the more flexible it is the better.  And in my case, I almost never use only one bible and one commentary, I like to see at least two at a time ....  No translation is a 'perfect' translation, and every commentary is nothing mo0re than one commentator's opinion .....

God bless,
Barry
