I'm off of Windows now, so I don't use BibleCS (the name of the
Windows front-end for Sword that you're talking about) but I also love
short-cuts and think that the more there are, the better a program is.
 And adding them probably won't affect other functionality in the
program.

This is caused by a mishandling of ThML in that module by the
ThML->RTF filter (the codes you are seeing are RTF formatting codes
that are almost exclusively used by the BibleCS frontend.  This
probably probably doesn't appear in other programs that use the
Personal Commentary.
