Thanks DM, it does help a bit.  But I'm still lost.  I'm a really raw
Sword newbie.  How can I take something like
   robinson:N-GSM,x-Robinson:N-GSM,4
and get the appropriate strongs number from it?

Is there a library function I can use?  I tried looking at how diatheke
did it, but it looks like the all the functionality is hidden away
somewhere.

And since x-StrongsMorph:TH8686 is not a Strong's number after all, how
do I get the strong's number from it?  Is there a library function?

If someone can show me how diatheke is retrieving the strong's numbers,
I'd be happy to trace the code back from there.

God bless.
