I do have a pretty lengthy wish list.  I have been hoping to be able to
contribute myself but have not yet found the time to do so.

The biggest functional improvement I would like is a way to enter book,
chapter and verse in one place rather than have to enter them in three
separate combo boxes.  Perhaps we could parse the book combo box, split
out numbers after a book abbreviation and use them as chapter and verse.
Thus one could enter I Cor 10:13 and it would properly parse and go to
that verse.

I would like to see some indicator on a verse that there is a personal
commentary note on it or a bookmark. I would love to see notes on books
and chapters as well as verses.

Finally, I would like to see access to the deutero-canonical books in
the translations which have them.

I know that's quite a bit and I don't know how much I'll be able to
contribute.  Thanks to all who have taken the time to do so - John
