Hi DM,

Thanks for the info. Where can I find the code for the BibleDesktop code in
Swing? (or what is the name for it?) The only swing file I can find is
jsword-1.6 called "jsword-common-swing-1.6.jar" and I can't seem to run
that file. I'd love to be able to play around with the graphical interface
and see the code behind it.

Thanks,
Carrie
