Oops! Apologies for the top posting!
Thank you for replying.  I am using BibleTime 2.10.1 on Fedora 23.  If
I choose the DRA (Douay-Rheims American Edition) and enter II Macc or
Tob, it takes me to Rev 1:1 as an example.  If I go to the end of
Nehemiah and scroll to the next chapter, it takes me to Esther.  If I
go to the end of Song of Songs and scroll to the next chapter, it takes
me to Isaiah - John
