Yeah, I think David might have some code to commit for this soon.

yes.  If the word you are over is all numeric, we currently assume that 
it is a strongs number.  This will probably stay this way for this release.

yeah, we're planning on focusing efforts on modules soon after this release.

blame it on Mr. Gates.

I'll look into this one.

I'll see about setting this with the current module font and size

Yeah, all modules will be reviewed soon.  Hope we can get some more 
people working on all this stuff.

	Thanks for the great feedback!
