I'm still not sure how to upload a module to the emulator.  Any help

Yes, you had everything split very nicely!  Very nice work.

actually works, cuz I can't get a Bible onto the emulator yet :)

write access information will follow in a private email.

Thank you again!  This is fun :)  May God use this work mightily for His
