I also have a few questions about SWModule. In the Sword API Primer this
example is given:

    SWMgr manager;  // create a default manager that looks in the
current directory for mods.conf
    ModMap::iterator modIterator;

    // Loop thru all installed modules and print out information
    for (modIterator = manager.Modules.begin(); modIterator !=
manager.Modules.end(); modIterator++) {
        string   modName  = (*modIterator).first;  // mod.conf section
name (stored in module->Name())
        SWModule *module  = (*modIterator).second;
        if ((!strcmp(module->Type(), "Biblical Texts")) {
            module->SetKey("jas 1:19");
            cout << modName << ": " << (const char *) *module << "\n";
        }
    }

I have no problem with this, but it appears that if I wanted to show a
range of verses (all verses in James Chapter 1, for example) I cannot
create a VerseKey object for the SWModule like I did for RawText.
VeseKey *mykey = module->CreateKey() causes a segfault.

The other question I have, and this relates to my unclear understanding
of STL, is there a way to call a particular ModMap without traversing
all available ModMaps?
I know that if I create a map as thus: map<string,string,less<string> >
somevar, I can access members like this: somevar[string]
According to the Sword API Primer, ModMap is defined thus: typedef map
<string, SWModule *, less<string> > ModMap
I would think I could reference an SWModule like thus:
string version("KJV");
SWModule *module = ModMap[&version];
But the compiler complains:  parse error before `['
