More or less.  And once you had the windows as you wanted them, you 
could save the layout and revert to it whenever you wanted.

In Troy's prototype, if you changed the bible or commentary in a given window, the layout stayed as you last had it arranged.  And the windows all changed their display together when you changed to a different chapter/verse.  I think you can do that in BibleTime and also unlink the windows if you want adjacent ones displaying a different chapter/verse. 

In the Sword 2 prototype, you could open up more than one 'desktop' and each could have separate versions displaying onscreen at the same time, so it was simple to have (say) two windows linked and another two displaying a different chapter/verse but also linked to one another.
