[sword-devel] volunteering for the sword reader (pocket-pc)

[Jeff Needle]

Thanks for the info!  Works very nicely.

Another question, if I may: BibleDesktop is correctly reading the 
Thompson's Chain Reference module, but it gives only the headers, and 
not the scripture references that accompany those headers.  Is there 
something I should be turning on in the preferences area?

Thanks again!
