I think they were binary to get round EOLN problems, however clearly it 
had gone wrong somewhere. I think I've fixed it now, but I'll check 
better later.

Mostly fixed.
The only remaining problem is working out which Component has the focus

I don't know of a good way to find the default Sword dir. So we make a 
guess currently. Perhaps the guess should be platform independent. Do 
you know where a good default unix install would be?

eclipse that should be easy.
Thanks for the comments.
