Hi,

There is an option in under tools->options->sword->base directory to 
specify the directory where sword modules are installed, so setting that 
should get you started with some Bible text.

If you have CVS then I would ignore the install anywhere jsword.exe, and 
build using "ant swingui", and then run:
   ${jsword}/target/ant/swingui/jsword/bin/jsword.bat

Does that help?

Joe.
