[bt-devel] Multiple lemmas (OSIS)

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Tom,

you can check that in the module's "about" dialog in BibleTime (right-click on 
a module and select "about"), or directly in the modules' conf files (in 
mods.d/ in your sword installation directory. Look for SourceType=OSIS.

Regards, 

mg
