Overview
SM/Win Overview

SeedMaster/Windows is a Windows Multi-Document Interface (MDI) program. This means you can open and view/manipulate the contents of multiple windows on the screen at the same time.

SM/Win has Five primary window types::

Bible Study (4 Bible study modes)	STUDY	Verse by verse Resources	COMMENTARY

Strong's Lexicon Resource	LEXICON

Topics Incl., 1917 Thompson Chain	TOPICS

Notepad for sermon/lesson notes	NOTEPAD

You can use many STUDIES, COMMENTARYs, TOPICS and NOTEPADs. Since LEXICON is specially synchronized with other windows, you can only create one LEXICON window.


STUDIES

A STUDY is the most important type of SeedMaster window, and it is a special one because it really is a grouping of 4 consecutive Bible study modes:

VIEW	View and scroll Bible verses

WORD LIST	View/search exhaustive list of Bible words

SEARCH	Search for a word or phrase

PEEK	"Peek" at a search verse in context

A STUDY can be maximized to fill the entire SM/Win window, or use just a portion of it. You can even minimize the study down to an icon to make room for another Study or other window.

The Study modes VIEW, WORD, SEARCH and PEEK are generally accessed in that order. The exception is that the WORD mode is optional, since you can go straight to SEARCH mode from VIEW.

For example, suppose you start at viewing text in VIEW mode at Gene 1:1. Lets suppose you are interested in the word "beginning". So, you do a Word/Phrase SEARCH for "beginning", which generates a list of verses containing the word "beginning". Then you scrolled down to John 1:1, and you wanted to read more on this important passage. You press <Enter> or double-click on John 1:1 to "peek" at this SEARCH verse in context. This process forms a natural Bible study progression.

To back up to a prior Study mode, press <Esc>. For example, in PEEK mode, you can press <Esc> (or click the right mouse button) to back up to the SEARCH, choose another verse, and PEEK at it. Or, in SEARCH, you can go back to VIEW mode to continue studying Genesis chapter 1.


COMMENTARY

COMMENTARY is a special class of SeedMaster window since it displays "verse by verse" Resource text that "synchronizes" itself to other active SeedMaster Bible text windows. The active Study window in VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK mode will make the COMMENTARY window(s) display the verse the Study mode is displaying.

There are several types of COMMENTARY window contents:

User created Commentary	Your own verse by verse notes.

User-created XRefs	Your own verse cross-references

Easton's Commentary	Optional Hypertext jumps to Easton definitions

Matthew Henry Concise	Optional Commentary Resource

Nave's Commentary	Optional Hypertext jumps to Nave's Topical

Topics Commentary	Optional Hypertext jumps to Topics entries

Treasury Scripture Knowledge	Optional cross-reference Bible Resource

People's NT Commentary	Optional New Testament commentary Resource

Scofield Notes	Optional verse note and cross-reference Resource

Word Pictures of the NT	Optional New Test. Greek word studies Resource

You can change between the type of Commentary content by selecting Change Commentary on the View Menu.

You can edit and create your own User Commentary and User Xrefs. If you have the optional Resources in SeedMaster format (not Online Bible format), you can also edit the Resource text and have the changes saved. Unlike most Windows editors, you do not have to explicitly save changes to the contents of the COMMENTARY. Since it synchronizes to verse changes in other windows, it does not ask you if you wanted to save changes. Rather, any changes made to COMMENTARY will be automatically saved when the COMMENTARY moves to another verse.

Note: You can turn Write Access on and off to enable or prevent updating the Resource texts.

The COMMENTARY windows also support a special display/hypertext mode that permits you to jump to associated TOPICS materials as well as viewing Bible verse cross references in a special window. The Resource Edit selection on the Edit Menu "toggles" between Edit Mode and Display/Hypertext Mode. If you are in Display/Hypertext Mode, any available Hypertext "Jumps" will be highlighted in green, (similar to Window's Help) and you can double-click the mouse on them to "Jump".

Advanced users can create and/or extend a Resource with your own Hypertext Jumps and cross-references.


NOTEPAD

The SeedMaster NOTEPAD is a simple text editor like the NOTEPAD that comes with Windows. You can use it to make lesson outlines and notes or prepare sermons. You can open multiple NOTEPADs under SM/Win.

The files can be saved as DOS Text files (usually with a .TXT extension).


SM/Win and the MDI
SM/Win and the Multiple Document Interface

SM/Win is a Windows Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application. The MDI application type was developed especially for word processing and spreadsheet programs to allow their users to edit multiple documents at the same time. SM/Win builds upon the MDI concept. Instead of multiple documents, think of SM/Win as a manager of multiple Bibles tools (we call them STUDIES ), notepads (we call them NOTEPAD ), and a various Resource windows, including verse by verse COMMENTARY materials, Strong's LEXICON (for Hebrew/Greek definitions), and TOPICS topical studies.

Each individual "document" gets its own window within the larger SM/Win window. They all share a common menu, and can take advantage of special synchronization features detailed elsewhere.

The STUDY window type is the most complex, since it has several modes. Normally, most people start out viewing Bible text (we call that mode VIEW ), then they look up a word in a list (we call that WORD List) or initiate a word or phrase search (we call that SEARCH ). As they browse their search, they want to see the search verse in context and then return to their search (we call that PEEK).

Numerically, the order is:

1. VIEW Bible text.

2. Initiate a Phrase SEARCH or a WORD List SEARCH.

3. PEEK at the SEARCH results in context.

Pressing the <Esc> key (or selecting Prior Study Mode on the Window Menu) takes the user back through this sequence in reverse order.

This is a straight forward, logical approach to studying the Bible. However, as they study, many people have search/study ideas they would like pursue in the midst of the organized process outlined above. But, eventually they would like to come back to their point of departure. The Multiple Document Interface of SM/Win allows you to temporarily halt your current STUDY, and initiate a new STUDY or NOTEPAD for jotting down a few ideas. When you are finished, you can close that window and return to your prior STUDY.


VIEW

The VIEW Study Mode lets you to view and print Bible verses and provides access to WORD , SEARCH and PEEK modes. The first verse displayed in the VIEW window will have its complete reference in the window border's top border. This is the "current verse". As you scroll through the verses, this reference will be updated to the reflect the new current verse.

Moving to a Different Verse

You can move to a specific verse reference by selecting New Verse from the View Menu. Select a new book, chapter and verse.

Changing Bible Versions

Change your Bible version by selecting Switch Version on the View Menu.

Multiple VIEW Windows

You may have an unlimited number of Studies to compare parallel passages or Bible versions. Select New Study from the File Menu to add a new Study window.

Synchronize Views

You can synchronize multiple VIEW windows to each other. You can use it to examine parallel passages. With synchronization ON, the cursor movements will be imitated by any other visible VIEW windows. If a VIEW window is minimized to an icon, it will not be included in the synchronization. Note that for the purposes of synchronization, a PEEK mode Study window is synchronized and considered the same as a VIEW window. Any search words will continue to be highlighted.

Synchronize Views to Search

You can synchronize VIEW or PEEK mode study windows to a SEARCH mode window. Any visible VIEW or PEEK will synchronize to the currently verse in a SEARCH mode window.


WORD

The WORD list is for word studies and logic searches. Open WORD List from VIEW by selecting Word List... on the Words Menu. You supply an initial word.

SeedMaster Spanish/Greek Characters

If you want to type accented characters for the SeedMaster RVA (Spanish) database, type an apostrophe before the accented character. For instance, to type an accented e type 'e. The proper characters will appear in the special window below. If you are typing in Greek for the SeedMaster GNT database, the characters will appear in the Symbol font in the special window.

Strong's Numbers

You may also enter Strong's numbers with or without other words. To enter a OT/Hebrew Strong's number, pre-fix it with a zero. For example, to view the OT number 430, enter "0430".

Valid Old Testament Range:	01 to 08853

Valid New Testament Range:	1 to 5899

Note: This option requires the SeedMaster STR database and is not available for Online Bible databases as it requires a special supplemental file not available in Online Bible. Online Bible users can add just the STR database to take advantage of this feature.

Moving to a New Letter

You can move to the first word beginning with an alphabet letter by pressing <A-Z>.

Restarting the WORD list

While you are in the WORD list, restart the list to a new word (or Strong's number) by choosing Word List... from the Words Menu.

SEARCHing from the WORD List

You can SEARCH a word by pressing <Enter> on a word.

AND/OR Logic Searches

Logic searches can be performed on more than one word.

AND logic requires each search word be present for a verse to count as a "hit".

OR logic guarantees at least one word was found in a "hit".

Your search logic choice (AND or OR) is set in the Words Menu.

You indicate your logic search words by "toggling" them. To toggle a word, move the selection bar to the word and either press the <Space> bar select Toggle on the Edit Menu. A special character will appear beside the word. If you press the <Space> bar (or select Toggle) again, the character is removed. Only those words which are toggled ON (the ones with the special character next to them) will be used for the search. The "|" character beside a toggled word is a reminder that you are using OR logic.

To begin a Logic Search, select Search Toggled on the Edit Menu. This begins a SEARCH on the combined words. The search takes only a little longer than a single word search.


SEARCH

To enter SEARCH from VIEW, select Word/Phrase... from the Search Menu and enter a word or phrase.

Entering Word/Phrases

Special Characters

If you want to type accented characters for the SeedMaster RVA (Spanish) database, type an apostrophe before the accented character. For instance, to type an accented e type 'e. The proper characters will appear in the special window below. If you are typing in Greek for the SeedMaster GNT database, the characters will appear in the Symbol font in the special window.

Wildcards

You can use the asterisk character "*" to act as a wildcard. The wildcard can be placed at the beginning and/or the end of the word.

Strong's Numbers

You may also enter Strong's numbers with or without other words. You need not be in the SeedMaster KJS or the Online Bible AV database to search Strong's numbers (although Strong's number hits will not be displayed). You do need either the SeedMaster STR database or a Strong's compatible Online database! Strong's numbers are ignored for Word Order purposes. They basically operate as a logical AND on any other words or Strong's numbers. To enter a OT/Hebrew Strong's number, pre-fix it with a zero. For example, to view the OT number 430, enter "0430".

Valid Old Testament Range:	01 to 08853

Valid New Testament Range:	1 to 5899

Punctuation

Punctuation entered in a Word/Phrase search is ignored for searching purposes.

Options and Performance

Case Sensitivity

You have the choice to enforce Case Sensitivity. If you do, SM/Win screens each verse containing the word(s) to verify the case matches.

Word Order

If you are searching for a phrase, you can choose to enforce Word Order.

If you ignore Word Order ("None"), SM/Win finds any verse(s) that have the words--in any order.

If you enforce Word Order, you use "General" or "Literal" order. "General" order requires that the words be found in order, but other words are allowed between them. "Literal" order enforces your word order and does not allow words between them.

Note: Because SM/Win must screen each verse containing the search words, searches that enforce Word Order take longer.

Manipulating Verse References

Toggling Verse References

Verse references are toggled by pressing the <Space> bar or selecting Toggle on the Edit Menu. If an "*" appears beside the verse, it is toggled ON. If you toggle a reference twice, the reference will be toggled OFF. Toggled references are used to print a portion of the reference list and to reduce the reference list.

Reducing Verse References

If you wish to reduce the reference list select Delete Non-Toggled on the Edit Menu. All toggled verses will be retained.

Adding Verse References

When you want to add a verse or verse range to a verse reference list, select Insert... from the Edit Menu. You will be asked for the verse range you wish to add.

Deleting Verse References

You can delete one verse by pressing <Del>.

PEEKing at Verse References in Context

You can PEEK at a verse in context by pressing <Enter>.

Hit Highlighting

All SEARCH phrase words are highlighted - even the words outside the "Literal" Word Order. This lets you see uses of your words that you might otherwise miss.

Using SEARCH Files

SEARCH file names have a "SMS" (SeedMaster Search) extension.

Saving SEARCH Files

Save As

To save a new SEARCH file, select Save As... from the File Menu. This will allow you to specify a name for the file.

Save

To save and update an existing SEARCH file, select Save from the File Menu.

Opening SEARCH Files

When you want to Open a SEARCH file, select Open from the File Menu.

Merging SEARCHes

You can Merge a stored SEARCH with the current SEARCH on the screen using AND, OR, XOR or NOT logic. To merge SEARCHes, select Merge from the File Menu. The Merge dialog window will appear. It lets you choose your merge type:

OR - This creates a SEARCH containing all verses in either of the original SEARCHes. Use it when you want to combine two SEARCH lists into one comprehensive list.

AND - This builds a SEARCH containing only those verses in both of the original SEARCHes. Use it when you want to look at verses common to two SEARCHes.

XOR - XOR stands for "eXclusive OR". It creates a SEARCH containing verses in either original search -but not both.

NOT - This removes from the screen SEARCH any verses in the disk-based search. After you exit the Merge dialog window, select the SEARCH file you wish to merge.

Converting to and from Resource Cross-References

Converting to Cross-Refs

SM/Win permits you to convert the verses in a Search to a text-based format compatible with hypertext jumps in the Resources. Thus, you can create your own cross-references based upon Search results, and paste them into any Resource. SM/Win lets you convert a Search in the current SEARCH mode window, or--if the current window is not in SEARCH mode--SM/Win will let you convert an existing SEARCH file. The converted text is placed into the Clipboard "Paste" buffer to let you paste the text anywhere in SM/Win Edit mode Resources (or even in other Windows applications). The converted text is formatted for Resource hypertext compatibility. Choose Convert Search to Paste XRefs from the Edit Menu.

Important Note: This conversion empties the Clipboard (the new text is not appended to any existing Clipboard text) unlike the option you have when copying Bible/Resource text to the Clipboard.

Converting Cross-Refs to a Search File

SM/Win lets you convert textual cross-references to SEARCH compatible file which you can then open, manipulate, merge, print, etc., in SEARCH mode. To use this feature, the current window must contain the textual cross-references you wish to convert. Choose Convert Xrefs to Search File from the Edit Menu and SM/Win will prompt you for a filename to save the resulting SEARCH.

Using Search Statistics

Search Statistics gives you a panoramic view of your search, with number of hits by book, and within each book, number of hits per chapter. Select Search Statistics... on the Search Menu. Search Statistics provides the total number of hits within the book, and the approximate percentage of the total number of hits.

You can cursor around on the books using the arrow and tab keys. You can press <Enter> to view a chapter by chapter summary of a book.


NOTEPAD Details

NOTEPAD is a paragraph oriented text editor similar to the Windows Notepad. NOTEPAD supports "word wrap" to show long lines of text in the window. Word wrap is based on window margins, not printer margins. It keeps long lines from going off the end of the window where you can't see them. When you print from NOTEPAD, your printer margins are enforced at that time. Paragraphs will reformat to printer margins.

Entering Notes

To enter NOTEPAD, select New Notepad from the File Menu. You can then type in the NOTEPAD using the System font. You cannot type in Greek characters in the Symbol font in the NOTEPAD.

Forward/Backward Search

Forward or Backward Search are available. Select Find from the Search Menu.

Pasting Text

To paste text from the Windows Clipboard, position the cursor where you want the text inserted, and select Paste from the Edit Menu. The text will be inserted.

Printing from Notepad

To print, select Print... from the File Menu. Select your options on the Print Dialog window.

Exiting Notepad

To exit NOTEPAD, select Close from the File Menu. If you made any changes to the NOTEPAD text since your last save, NOTEPAD will give the opportunity to save the file.

Notepad Files

A Notepad file is a DOS TEXT (or ASCII TEXT) file and can be read by almost any word processor. Default NOTEPAD file names have "TXT" extensions. When opening NOTEPAD files, SM/Win automatically lists all files with the "TXT" extension.

Saving Notepad Files

Save As

To save a new NOTEPAD file, select Save As from the File Menu. This will allow you to specify a name for the file.

Save

To save and update an existing NOTEPAD file, select Save from the File Menu.

Opening Notepad Files

When you want to Open a NOTEPAD file, select Open from the File Menu.


COMMENTARY Details

COMMENTARY is a class of "verse-by-verse" Resources, such a commentary and cross-reference materials. These Resources will "synchronize" their window contents to match the "current" Bible verse displayed in a Study window. The "current verse" will be displayed in the window's title bar. SeedMaster has several types of COMMENTARY Resources:

User Created Commentary 	Personal verse by verse Notes

User Created XRefs	Personal verse by verse cross-references

Easton's Commentary	Hypertext jumps to Easton's definitions

Matthew Henry Concise	Bible commentary

Nave's Commentary	Hypertext jumps to Nave's Topical

Topics Commentary	Hypertext jumps to Topics entries

Treasury Scripture Knowledge	500,000 cross-references

People's New Test. Cmty	New Testament commentary

Scofield Notes	1917 Scofield notes and cross-references

Word Pictures in the NT	New Testament study of Greek words

You can open up to 10 COMMENTARY windows simultaneously. The first two COMMENTARY types listed are available for creating your own notes and verse by verse reference materials. Actually, User Commentary can contain cross-reference hypertext jumps and User XRefs can contain textual commentary. The two are provided to permit you to create and view two different classes of "verse-by-verse" materials.

Note: You can, by virtue of specifying different User Cmts, Xrefs directories in the Directories Dialog , let different people using SM/Win on the same computer create their own materials.

SM/Win provides two "modes" for each COMMENTARY Resource window:

Display/Hypertext Mode

In this mode, the Resource text can be viewed, scrolled, and double-clicked for any available hypertext jumps, but the text cannot be edited. Any available hypertext jumps are automatically displayed in green text. Double-click the mouse on them to "jump". If you are "jumping" to a verse cross-reference, a special window will be created to display the verse(s). You can print or copy to the Clipboard from that window. You can then leave that window on the screen, as it will be used for any future "jumps". The COMMENTARY Resource in Display/Hypertext Mode will use the Resource font you set up under Screen Fonts on the View Menu.

Editing Mode

In Editing Mode, you can change or add text to the Commentary Resource. Editing Mode uses a paragraph oriented text editor similar to SM/Win's NOTEPAD, using a default editing font.

In Editing Mode, you do not to worry about "saving" your comments. Assuming you have enabled Write Access on the File Menu for the Resource, SM/Win will save changes automatically when you:

Enter new comments for a verse

Edit existing comments

Exit COMMENTARY

Exit SM/Win

Important Note: SM/Win only updates SeedMaster formatted Resource files. It does not update Online Bible Resources. The OLB2SM utility will allow you to convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format. However, even if you retain the Online Bible file formatting, the Edit Mode is useful for copying Resource text to the Clipboard.

You can switch between Display/Hypertext and Edit Mode by selecting Resource Edit on Ribbon Bar or the Edit Menu. In either mode, COMMENTARY supports "word wrap" to allow you to see long lines of text in the COMMENTARY window.

Entering COMMENTARY

To begin COMMENTARY, select New Commentary from the File Menu. You can change the Commentary type by selecting Switch Commentary on the View Menu.

Creating COMMENTARY Hypertext "Jumps"

Cross-Reference Hypertext "Jumps"

Any cross-references on a line must be preceded by a # sign. If a verse number is not pre-ceded by a Book or chapter notation, we assume the "current" Book and chapter. Bible book abbreviations should follow either the SeedMaster or Online Bible book naming standards, although we try to interpret other names based on the SeedMaster naming conventions. If you "Paste" in converted SEARCH files, the Book naming is already performed for you.

TOPICS Hypertext "Jumps"

You can create "jumps" to the TOPICS module. SM/Win interprets a number on the end of a line (one you press <Enter> after) as a potential TOPIC jump. So, you can add a lines at the bottom of a COMMENTARY Resource such as: "See Topic 3243". Each topic jump must be on a separate line (so the number can be at the end of the line).

Forward/Backward Search

Forward or Backward Search within the current text (in Edit Mode only) are available. Select Find from the Search Menu.

COMMENTARY SEARCHES

SM/Win also offers searching throughout the current COMMENTARY Resource for words and/or numbers. Select Word/Phrase from the Search Menu. Word Order and Case Sensitivity are ignored. The searches are not pre-indexed (as are Bible text searches), so they take longer than searching for Bible words. The searches are relatively quick, however, and vary according to the size of the Resource file and the speed of your hard drive. The window title will show the current "hit" number and the total number of "hits". Once the search is complete, you can "page" through the "hits" using the following key combinations:

<Ctrl><Home>	Show first "hit"

<Ctrl><PgUp>	Show previous "hit"

<Ctrl><PgDn>	Show next "hit"

<Ctrl><End>	Show last :"hit"

Important Notes: You must be in Display/Hypertext Mode to page through the "hits". This Resource search feature is only available on SeedMaster formatted Resource files. Online Bible Resources cannot be searched. You can convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format using the OLB2SM utility.

Pasting Text

To paste text from the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then position the cursor where you want the text inserted, and select Paste from the Edit Menu.

Copying COMMENTARY Text to the Clipboard

To copy text to the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then select the text you want to copy and choose Copy from the Edit Menu.

Printing from COMMENTARY

To print from COMMENTARY, select Print... from the File Menu. SM/Win will ask you for the range of COMMENTARY verses that you wish to print. It will then print the comments for that verse range.Note: You can also include your COMMENTARY comments when you print Bible text from various STUDY modes.

Exiting COMMENTARY

To exit COMMENTARY, select Close from the File Menu. The window will be removed, any changes to the comments saved (if applicable), and memory associated with the COMMENTARY will be freed.

Recovering Disk Space

As you create and edit comments for verses, "dead" space is left in the COMMENTARY files. The CLEANCOM.EXE program recovers that dead space. You can run CLEANCOM manually or from a batch file. CLEANCOM must be in the same directory as the COMMENTARY file(s). CLEANCOM will also "clean" the LEXICON and TOPICS files, if necessary. To run CLEANCOM, type: CLEANCOM <Enter> at that directory. CLEANCOM will recover the dead space from the file(s) and rewrite the index files. If there is no dead space in a file, CLEANCOM terminates quickly.


LEXICON Details

LEXICON is a Resource "dictionary" for Strong's numbers. This Resource can be an independent window, or you can "synchronize" the window contents to match any Strong's number you double-click on in the View/Peek Mode of a Study window, or the current Strong's number in the Word List (if you turn Synchronize Lex to Word List on in the View Menu). The Strong's number will be displayed in the window's title bar.

You can only open one LEXICON window. To open LEXICON, choose New Lexicon from the View Menu. If the LEXICON window is already open, you can select a different Strong's number by choosing New Lexicon again. You will be prompted for a new number. If you work with the LEXICON regularly, we suggest you open the window and leave it open.

SM/Win provides two "modes" for Resource windows like LEXICON:

Display/Hypertext Mode

In this mode, the Resource text can be viewed, scrolled, and double-clicked for any available hypertext jumps, but the text cannot be edited. Any available hypertext jumps are automatically displayed in green text. Double-click the mouse on them to "jump". LEXICON in Display/Hypertext Mode will use the Resource font you set up under Screen Fonts on the View Menu.

Editing Mode

In Editing Mode, you can change or add text to the LEXICON. Editing Mode uses a paragraph oriented text editor similar to SM/Win's NOTEPAD, using a default editing font.

In Editing Mode, you do not to worry about "saving" your comments. Assuming you have enabled Write Access for the LEXICON, SM/Win will save changes automatically when you:

Edit existing text

"Jump" to a new definition

Exit LEXICON

Exit SM/Win

Important Note: SM/Win only updates SeedMaster formatted Resource files, including LEXICON. It does not update Online Bible Resources. The OLB2SM utility will allow you to convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format. However, even if you retain the Online Bible file formatting, the Edit Mode is useful for copying Resource text to the Clipboard.

You can switch between Display/Hypertext and Edit Mode by selecting Resource Edit on the Edit Menu. In either mode, LEXICON supports "word wrap" to allow you to see long lines of text in the LEXICON window.

Entering LEXICON

To begin LEXICON, select New Lexicon from the File Menu. You can reset the Strong's number to a new number by selecting New Lexicon again. You will be prompted for a new number.

Creating Inter-LEXICON Hypertext "Jumps"

You can create additional hypertext jumps to other LEXICON definitions. You do this by entering a valid Strongs number (remember to prefix Hebrew/OT numbers with a zero) and having once of several "keywords", then a single space, before the number. These "keywords" help SM/Win identify potential hypertext jumps. Valid Strong's jump keywords include:

and	From

as	of

origin	to

cf	+

from

Example: "This Hebrew word is related to 0430 and 0431." In this case, both 0430 and 0431 would be valid "jumps". After you switch back to Display/Hypertext Mode, the "jump" will be highlighted in green if you have entered it correctly.

Forward/Backward Search

Forward or Backward Search within the current text (in Edit Mode only) are available. Select Find... from the Search Menu.

LEXICON SEARCHES

SM/Win also offers searching throughout the current LEXICON Resource for words and/or numbers. Select Word/Phrase from the Search Menu. Word Order and Case Sensitivity are ignored. The searches are not pre-indexed (as are Bible text searches), so they take longer than searching for Bible words. The searches are relatively quick, however, and vary according to the size of the file and the speed of your hard drive. The window title will show the current "hit" number and the total number of "hits". Once the search is complete, you can "page" through the "hits" using the following key combinations:

<Ctrl><Home>	Show first "hit"

<Ctrl><PgUp>	Show previous "hit"

<Ctrl><PgDn>	Show next "hit"

<Ctrl><End>	Show last :"hit"

Important Notes: You must be in Display/Hypertext Mode to page through the "hits". This Resource search feature is only available on SeedMaster formatted Resource files. Online Bible Resources cannot be searched. You can convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format using the OLB2SM utility.

Pasting Text

To paste text from the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then position the cursor where you want the text inserted, and select Paste from the Edit Menu.

Copying LEXICON Text to the Clipboard

To copy text to the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then select the text you want to copy and choose Copy from the Edit Menu.

Printing from LEXICON

To print from LEXICON, select Print... from the File Menu. SM/Win will then print the contents of the current LEXICON entry.

Exiting LEXICON

To exit LEXICON, select Close from the File Menu. The window will be removed, any changes to the text saved (if applicable), and memory associated with the LEXICON will be freed.

Recovering Disk Space

As you create and edit comments for verses, "dead" space is left in the LEXICON files. The CLEANCOM.EXE program recovers that dead space. You can run CLEANCOM manually or from a batch file. CLEANCOM must be in the same directory as the LEXICON files. CLEANCOM will also "clean" the COMMENTARY and TOPICS files, if necessary. To run CLEANCOM, type: CLEANCOM <Enter> at that directory. CLEANCOM will recover the dead space from the file(s) and rewrite the index files. If there is no dead space in a file, CLEANCOM terminates quickly.


TOPICS Details

TOPICS is both a general category of SM Resource and a specific Resource database "Topics" (containing topical studies, including the 1917 Thompson Chain topics). These Resources are in an independent window, and you can open up to 10 different TOPICS windows simultaneously. The TOPIC number will be displayed in the window's title bar.

TOPICS Databases include:

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary - Almost 4,000 Definitions

Nave's Topical Bible - Almost 4,000 Topics

Topics - includes 1915 Thompson Chain

To open TOPIC, choose New Topic from the View Menu. If a TOPIC window is the active window, you will be prompted for a new topic within that window. If another window type is active, a new topic window will be created. You can change the type of TOPIC by selecting Switch Topic on the View Menu.

SM/Win provides two "modes" for Resource windows like TOPICS:

Display/Hypertext Mode

In this mode, the Resource text can be viewed, scrolled, and double-clicked for any available hypertext jumps, but the text cannot be edited. Any available hypertext jumps are automatically displayed in green text. Double-e-click the mouse on them to "jump". If you are "jumping" to a verse cross-reference, a special window will be created to display the verse(s). You can print or copy to the Clipboard from that window. You can then leave that window on the screen, as it will be used for any future "jumps". TOPICS in Display/Hypertext Mode will use the Resource font you set up under Screen Fonts on the View Menu.

Editing Mode

In Editing Mode, you can change or add text to the TOPICS. Editing Mode uses a paragraph oriented text editor similar to SM/Win's NOTEPAD, using a default editing font.

In Editing Mode, you do not to worry about "saving" your comments. Assuming you have enabled Write Access for the TOPICS, SM/Win will save changes automatically when you:

Edit existing text

"Jump" to a new definition

Exit TOPICS

Exit SM/Win

Important Note: SM/Win only updates SeedMaster formatted Resource files, including TOPICS. It does not update Online Bible Resources. The OLB2SM utility will allow you to convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format. However, even if you retain the Online Bible file formatting, the Edit Mode is useful for copying Resource text to the Clipboard.

You can switch between Display/Hypertext and Edit Mode by selecting Resource Edit on the Edit Menu. In either mode, TOPICS supports "word wrap" to allow you to see long lines of text in the TOPICS window.

Entering TOPICS

To begin TOPICS, select New Topic from the File Menu. You can reset the TOPIC to a new number by selecting New Topic again--assuming the TOPIC window is the active window. You will be prompted for a new number.

Creating-TOPIC Hypertext "Jumps"

TOPIC Hypertext "Jumps"

You can create additional hypertext jumps to other TOPICS. You do this by entering a valid TOPIC number (through 32,767) at the end of a line--you must press <Enter> after entering the number--so you can only have one TOPIC jump per line.

Cross-Reference Hypertext "Jumps"

Any cross-references on a line must be preceded by a # sign. In TOPICS, a verse number must be preceded by a Book and chapter notation. Bible book abbreviations should follow either the SeedMaster or Online Bible book naming standards, although we try to interpret other names based on the SeedMaster naming conventions. If you "Paste" in converted SEARCH files, the Book naming is already performed for you.

After you switch back to Display/Hypertext Mode, the "jump" will be highlighted in green if you have entered it correctly.

Creating New TOPICS Entries

You can create your own topical studies within TOPICS. TOPICS accommodates up to 32,767 topics, of which 0 through 9,999 are reserved. Assuming you have "Write Access" enabled on a SeedMaster TOPICS database, simply select an unused TOPICS number and start entering your text. We suggest you create a "menu" of your TOPICS so you can use it to hypertext "jump" to your entries from a single point. If you forget what number(s) you created, you can use the TOPICS Word/Phrase Search for keywords!

Forward/Backward Search

Forward or Backward Search within the current text (in Edit Mode only) are available. Select Find from the Search Menu.

TOPICS SEARCHES

SM/Win also offers searching throughout the current TOPICS Resource for words and/or numbers. Select Word/Phrase from the Search Menu. Word Order and Case Sensitivity are ignored. The searches are not pre-indexed (as are Bible text searches), so they take longer than searching for Bible words. The searches are relatively quick, however, and vary according to the size of the file and the speed of your hard drive. The window title will show the current "hit" number and the total number of "hits". Once the search is complete, you can "page" through the "hits" using the following key combinations:

<Ctrl><Home>	Show first "hit"

<Ctrl><PgUp>	Show previous "hit"

<Ctrl><PgDn>	Show next "hit"

<Ctrl><End>	Show last :"hit"

Important Notes: You must be in Display/Hypertext Mode to page through the "hits". This Resource search feature is only available on SeedMaster formatted Resource files. Online Bible Resources cannot be searched. You can convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format using the OLB2SM utility.

Pasting Text

To paste text from the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then position the cursor where you want the text inserted, and select Paste from the Edit Menu.

Copying TOPICS Text to the Clipboard

To copy text to the Windows Clipboard, make sure you are in Edit Mode, then select the text you want to copy and choose Copy from the Edit Menu.

Printing from TOPICS

To print from TOPICS, select Print... from the File Menu. SM/Win will then print the contents of the current TOPICS entry.

Exiting TOPICS

To exit TOPICS, select Close from the File Menu. The window will be removed, any changes to the text saved (if applicable), and memory associated with the TOPICS will be freed.

Recovering Disk Space

As you create and edit comments for verses, "dead" space is left in the TOPICS files. The CLEANCOM.EXE program recovers that dead space. You can run CLEANCOM manually or from a batch file. CLEANCOM must be in the same directory as the TOPICS files. CLEANCOM will also "clean" the COMMENTARY and LEXICON files, if necessary. To run CLEANCOM, type: CLEANCOM <Enter> at that directory. CLEANCOM will recover the dead space from the file(s) and rewrite the index files. If there is no dead space in a file, CLEANCOM terminates quickly.


Errors
OH NO! It Didn't Work!

Deleting OPTIONSW.DAT

The OPTIONSW.DAT file contains option settings. If this file is corrupt, SM/Win can behave strangely. Try exiting SM/Win, deleting it and restarting the program.

Problems in the Bible Texts

The texts have been obtained from good sources. There should be few, if any, problems. There are some variations between various KJV texts--you may find some of those. If you find a genuine problem, explain it to us. Include a phone number and your user registration number. Please note that we will not make changes beyond compliance with the original KJV text, even if the KJV text spelling or usage is archaic or inconvenient. As a trivial example, the KJV spells "ankle" as "ancle".

SM/Win Bug Reports

Software developers hear about two types of "bugs":

1. A genuine bug--the software doesn't do what it is supposed to. SM/Win is tested in-house and by beta testers, but we cannot say it is free of bugs. If you find one, explain how to duplicate it (with "Print Screen"'s, file listings, printouts, etc.) and send it in. Include your phone number and user number.

2. A "wishful" bug--the software doesn't do something you want it to, but we never said it was supposed to. We made an effort to make a flexible and powerful program, but you can't please all the people all the time. Example: After a phrase search with "Literal" word order, you notice the search words are highlighted--even those outside the "Literal" phrase. You might think this is a "bug". We think it is a feature. Since you have an interest in the phrase words, highlighting all occurrences of them might help you see some word usages you might otherwise miss.

Problems in the Documentation

If you find errors in the manual, explain the problem, suggestions or resolutions. Include your user registration number and phone number. All submissions will be the property of White Harvest Software, Inc.


Trademarks

Product names other than SeedMaster and SM/Win are trademarks of their manufacturers.


New, Undocumented Features

The following items have been updated or added since the Documentation Manual was printed. The Manual remains correct in almost all areas. These changes are primarily additional features and "tweaks". We appreciate our users' suggestions and feedback that went into these changes.

Experienced SeedMaster users should consider reviewing these items. New users can review these changes at a later date in SM/Win's Help. This material can be selected from the "Contents" section of the SM/Win Help.

Edit Menu, Resource Edit

Resource Edit is used to "toggle" in and out of Edit and Display/Hypertext Mode in a Resource window.

New Feature: This selection will also copy the first 10 verses from a View window into the special Edit Window. You can then use the mouse to select a portion of the text to be copied to the Clipboard or to be used in a Word/Phrase Search. (Make sure you switch back to the View window before selecting Word/Phrase Search.)

New Verse Dialog

The New Verse Dialog lets you move to a new Bible verse. The following additions increase the number of options you have to make your Bible study more efficient:

All View/Peek

The All View/Peek check box lets you choose whether to move all open View and Peek windows or only the active window.

Note: "New Verse" movements are not automatically synchronized, since that would prohibit you from viewing parallel passages. The All View/Peek option lets you control whether "New Verse" moves just the active window or all applicable windows and is completely independent of other synchronization options. This gives you the greatest flexibility in setting up your Bible studies.

Bookmarks

The Bookmarks section lets you store and recall up to 20 commonly accessed verses.

To add a verse to Bookmarks, set the dialog to the desired book, chapter and verse, then push the ADD button.

To select a verse from Bookmarks, simply select one of the verses and push the USE button. The New Verse Dialog will update to the selected verse.

Notes

You do not need to delete verses from Bookmarks. If you try to add a 21st verse to Bookmarks, all verses will be shifted up one place. The first verse will be deleted from the list and the new verse will be placed at the end.

All verses ADDed to the Bookmarks are saved--even if you Cancel out of the Dialog. So, you can set a number of verses and then select Cancel to return to your study.

RIBBON BAR Changes

There have been two small changes to the Ribbon Bar:

1. The Switch Version Button [image] has been modified to also support switching Commentary and Topics Types. Thus, when the active window is a Bible text window in View mode, the button will appear as the standard [image] button. When it is a Commentary window, it will appear as [image]. When it is a Topics window, it will be [image].

2. In the place of the formerly separate Switch Commentary button (referenced above), we have added a button to toggle in and out of Resource/Edit Modes. This is the same as selecting Resource Edit on the Edit Menu. The new [image] button switches Resources from Display/Hypertext Mode to Edit Mode. The [image] button switches from Edit Mode back to Display/Hypertext Mode. The addition of this button will greatly assist users who build their own topical entries and hypertext jumps to Bible verses.

There is also now a new function for the Resource Edit mode and that is discussed above.

Switch Topics Dialog

There is a new Switch Topics Dialog to support switching between available TOPICS databases.

Switch Version Hotkey

In a View window, you can toggle forward through the Bible versions by pressing <Ctrl><V>.

Topics

You can move to the previous and next Topic by holding down the <Shift> key and clicking the LEFT and RIGHT mouse buttons, respectively. This lets you move forward and backward one Topic at a time.

TOPICS Databases now include:

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary - Almost 4,000 Definitions

Nave's Topical Bible - Almost 4,000 Topics

Topics - includes 1915 Thompson Chain

You can change the type of TOPIC by selecting Switch Topic on the View Menu or by selecting the new [image] button on the Ribbon Bar.

Word/Phrase Dialog

Paste Sel

If you have text selected in the special Edit window for Bible verses, you can paste it into the Find entry by selecting this button.


CD-ROM Specific Information

This information is intended to help you in running and/or distributing SeedMaster in conjunction with a CD-ROM drive.

GENERAL - RUNNING FROM CD-ROM

RUNNING CD-ROM FOR BOTH PROGRAM & DATABASES

You can run SM/Win from the CD-ROM drive. Two cautions apply:

1) SM/Win is an overlaid program, which means the operating system only loads active portions of the program from the SMW.EXE disk file. As you switch functions, SM/Win will run faster if you copy them to your hard drive. (See COPYING THE PROGRAMS TO THE HARD DRIVE below.)

2) SM/Win stores program options and other information when it exits. If (and only if) you run them directly from the CD-ROM drive, provide a DOS path to a valid directory on your hard drive (or even a floppy) so they can store your options from session to session. For example, assume the CD-ROM is drive D and the C:\SM directory exists:

SMW  C:\SM

Normally in Windows, command line options are set by the Program Manager in the File Menu under "Properties". Also, if you run Windows 3.1, set the "Working Directory" to your hard drive\path.

RUNNING CD-ROM FOR DATABASES ONLY

You can run SM/DOS or SM/Win from your hard drive and keep the all Bible and Resource Databases on CD-ROM. If you start either program from a hard drive with no Bible databases present, each will ask for the directories for Bible files and other file types. SM/Win: Put the CD-ROM drive\path in "Bible/Resource #1".

COMBO HARD DISK/CD-ROM DATABASES

You can copy your most frequently used Bible Databases (or separately available Bible Databases) to your hard drive and still retain access to the other CD-ROM based Databases. Simply copy the files (See "COPYING A DATABASE TO THE HARD DRIVE" below). Then put the hard drive path in the appropriate directory entry.

IMPORTANT: SM/Win searches the directories (1-4) in order, and uses the LAST directory where a given database is found. If the CD-ROM is listed last, it take precedence over databases on your hard drive. Therefore, list the CD-ROM path FIRST!

COPYING THE PROGRAMS TO THE HARD DRIVE

Copy the following files to a hard drive\directory (we suggest C:\SM):

MINIMUM	RECOMMENDED

SMW.*	SMW.*	LHA.*	C*.*

*.DOC	*.DOC	O*.EXE	i*.*

COPYING A DATABASE TO THE HARD DRIVE

BIBLE DATABASES

To copy a Bible database, determine it's three letter designation (ASV,DBY, KJV, KJS, LSG, STR, YLT, etc.) and copy the following files (example assumes ASV):

ASV.*	*.ASV

STR SPECIAL NOTE: If you copy the STR to the hard drive, you should also copy the LEX.* files as well.

BIBLE RESOURCES

To copy a Bible resource, determine the file prefix (PNT, TSK, etc.) and copy the following file specification (assumes PNT):  PNT.*

FAST ACCESS OPTION

SM/Win offers the option of copying CD-ROM verse index data to the hard drive to speed access to Bible text. Select "Fast Access" from the File Menu, and choose the applicable database(s). We recommend turning this on for KJS and STR databases, since displaying KJS w/ Strong's numbers embedded is tantamount to displaying two Bible versions at once. Each version chosen "costs" about 120K of hard disk space. The file is created in the directory where OPTIONS.DAT is stored (usually the default directory unless a command line path is given). It will NOT be deleted at program exit. You must turn off the Fast Access to delete the file.

OTHER SPEED CONSIDERATIONS

Basic searching on the CD-ROM Bible for words and phrases is rather fast. Displaying the Search results (if Search Verse Fragments is not set to "None") can take considerable time, since the verse fragments to be displayed are not contiguous. Therefore, you can speed searches on the CD-ROM by setting Search Verse Fragments" to "None" (on the Screen Format Dialog on the View Menu). It can mean the difference between a search of 2 seconds and 21 seconds. You can still "Peek" at a verse reference in context by pressing <Enter>.

CD-ROM BASED DISTRIBUTION NOTES

See the DISTRIB.DOC file for distribution restrictions and specific instructions. Generally, however, you can use the INSTALL.EXE program in the SeedMaster CD-ROM directory to make copies of the Program(s), Shareware Resources and Shareware Bible Databases. Just make the CD-ROM path your current DOS drive\directory and type: INSTALL  <Enter>

Choose options 4-6 and follow the menus. INSTALL asks for a path to a hard drive to store temporary archive files. You may wish to create a empty directory on your hard drive in advance, to eliminate the remote possibility that a temporary file will match an existing file name.

Online Bible Notes
Online Bible Compatibility Notes

This is intended to provide users of the Online Bible program an introduction to the Online Bible file format compatible version of SeedMaster/Windows.

HISTORY

Around April 1993, Larry Pierce, author of Online Bible, provided White Harvest (among others) with C source code to access his Online Bible files. We used it to implemented Online Bible databases into our SeedMaster/DOS V2.3 program. Since we already had a mature Bible study program, it only took about 2 weeks to implement and we went into beta test in late June, 1993. Though our file structures are almost the complete opposite of Online Bible's (see below), the modularity of the code Larry provided and the modular design of our program made the task possible.

By late August, 1993, we had Online Bible files running in our SM/Win beta test version. This is scheduled for release in Sept, 1993.

OUR TECHNICAL VIEW OF THE ONLINE BIBLE PROGRAM

From a programming standpoint, the Online Bible program is quite a feat. Larry uses the PL/1 language, and he must use an old, "small memory model" compiler to create his program. "Small memory model" means he is limited to only 64K of code (programming) and lacks overlay support. That he has been able to cram as much function into 64K as he has is amazing. We use the C language and do not have that limitation. Frankly, we probably wouldn't have tried this kind of a program if we did.

OUR APPROACH TO ONLINE BIBLE DATABASES

We have not sought to purely "clone" the Online Bible program. We already have a mature Bible study product, so we have implemented Online Bible databases within our existing structure. We have tried to add, where possible, features to help ease the evaluation or transition for an Online Bible user to our program. However, the Window interface standards prevent serious duplication of the Online Bible program interface.

BIBLE DATABASES SUPPORTED

Generally, we support Online Bible databases that use the "standard" KJV 31,102 verse layout. As this is released, we are not aware of any particular databases that are not supported. It is likely that only a few foreign languages will cause difficulty.

We know that V6.X files are supported. Older versions may work as well. We would guess that V5.X and up would work if they use the 31,102 format (most English translations will). We know V6.0 SCHOLAR, AV-LSG, AV-RSV, AV-ELB, ELB and AV-NRSV work.

Please let us know your experiences. (We realize that we'll hear more from those that don't work than those that do.) We'll list them on our BBS as we get the feedback.

TEXT-BASED RESOURCE SUPPORT

We support the Online Bible text resources in two ways:

We support the native Online Bible format with certain limitations:

First, files are only access read-only any changes you make are NOT SAVED.

Second, you cannot Search the resources as you can with our format.

Third, this format is slower than ours.

If you use this format and use the DIET compression, you are responsible to load and unload DIET appropriately. Note: We have not tested DIET with SM/Win. Windows may prevent DIET from functioning properly.

We include a conversion program OLB2SM.EXE

OLB2SM.EXE converts most Online Bible text resources to our format. Instead of spreading text files across many directories, OLB2SM concatenates the text, (stripping extraneous hard returns and spacing to display more info in a window at one time) and builds two files:

A Text file (ends in .DAT or .SMC)

An Index file (.NDX)

Again, there are benefits to this approach:

First, more efficient disk space usage.

Second, faster text access.

Third, you can edit and update the text.

Finally, you can search textual resources. You can search the TSK, Lex, etc., for words or numbers and "page" thru the hits.

OLB2SM has a special "Demo" option to convert only a portion of the text resources to conserve disk space while you test and evaluate SM/Win. If used, the following limitations are in effect:

TOPICS:  Only the first 1000 topics are converted.

WORD P.: Only Matt through Luke.

SCOFIELD, TREASURY, PEOPLE'S, & NOTES: only Gospel of John.

See the OLB2SM.DOC file for more details.

SUMMARY OF SM/Windows BENEFITS

SM/DOS and SM/Win have program features not found in Online Bible:

The ability to run more than one Online Bible database (combination or single) at the same time. For instance, you can run side by side windows of the Darby Bible (found in SCHOLAR) beside the LSG (found in AV-LSG) and scroll them together.

The ability to run SeedMaster databases beside Online Bible databases. For instance, you can scroll/search our NKJV, Living Bible, or TEV Bible databases beside your Online Bible texts.

An exhaustive list of all Words in a database. You can look up and scroll words alphabetically and search directly from our Word List.

An integrated text editor. You can edit verse by verse notes or the text Resources within SeedMaster with the Bible verses still on the screen.

Different search result display. SeedMaster displays each search verse on a single line with the reference, then a fragment of the text to the right. This lets you see and screen about 20 verses at a time. To see the full text of the verse in context, you simply press <Enter> on it.

Search Statistics - a book by book and chapter by chapter summary of search "hits".

Searches can be saved and merged using AND, OR, XOR, NOT logic.

You can search the Text Resources (Lexicon, TSK, etc.).

ABOUT OUR SHAREWARE REGISTRATION

The distribution of Online Bible is unique, as Larry seeks no compensation for his work. His financial needs are met via other means. Frankly, we do not enjoy that freedom. We are sympathetic to his approach, as we distribute SeedMaster as Shareware. We ask those who find the program useful to register their use with us for $40. This includes:

Putting you on our mailing list for updates/enhancements

Sending a full, printed and indexed manual (over 90 pages)

Sending the latest version of our program, and

Providing us compensation for our efforts.

Please note that the requested registration fee is ONLY for the use of our program. We DO NOT ask any additional registration fees for each "Shareware" Bible database. (If you obtain them from us, our fees cover duplication expenses, royalties, etc.). We allow people to freely copy our Shareware, non-copyrighted (non-royalty) Bible databases (we obtained many from Online Bible). We simply ask to be compensated for our efforts in creating and enhancing the program. This is where we spend the bulk of our time.

For more information, see Registration Info on the Help Menu.

WHICH BIBLE DATABASES (SM or OLB) SHOULD YOU USE?

As stated earlier, Online Bible databases are designed very differently from our native SeedMaster databases. Naturally, Larry prefers his format, and we prefer ours. Nevertheless, the following is our best attempt at an objective assessment the differences between the two designs:

Because of the Online Bible program's "small memory model", Larry has had limited code space and gobs of memory left over to "cache" files in memory. So, Larry designs very tightly coded and compressed Bible texts and indexes. He loads key index and decompression files (100K to 200K) into memory for fast access. Otherwise, access speed would be rather slow. On your hard disk, therefore, his databases are smaller than ours. Because Online Bible must have so much information in memory, it can only run one database at a time (which is one reason for the "combination" databases).

We have never had significant code space limitations. We emphasized:

Minimizing hard disk accesses

Conserving memory space, and

Providing any combination of Bible databases simultaneously.

The memory required to decompress one of our databases is only about 5K. We also need very few hard disk accesses, so we do not need to cache our indexes for speed. The penalty we pay for this is larger database files (about 4MB each version). It has been our position that hard disk space is "cheap", at least compared with a user's study options and time. Therefore, we prefer to err on the side of large files to gain greater flexibility and speed. When we run Online Bible databases, we performed some "tweaks" and we do try to cache key files. However, if your memory  is limited, access to Online Bible databases will be slow. Under the same constraints, our databases WOULD NOT suffer speed degradation.

There are other related differences:

Online Bible databases do not index all words. They leave out very common words such as "the", "and", etc. SeedMaster databases exhaustively index all words.

Online Bible databases do not support paragraph markers (or hard returns) within the text of a verse--such as in poetry sections. SeedMaster databases do support them, when we have that information (as in the NIV, TEV, TLB and other databases).

In Online combination databases, words are indexed across all Bible texts. If a program wants to find out if a word is used only in a given translation, it must read in all possible verses and check for that word (slow). All SeedMaster databases are indexed separately.

So, we would counsel as follows (this presumes you use our program and therefore have a choice of databases):

If your hard disk space/budget is constrained, use Online Bible databases. Note, however, if you use multiple Online Bible databases, the disk savings can decrease due to the duplication of the AV and Strong's numbers in each database.

If your memory is too constrained for SM/Win to run Online Bible databases quickly--or if you want maximum flexibility in database combinations, use SeedMaster databases. You will find them rather affordable (none over $30).

In summary, there is nothing really "wrong" or "evil" about either design approach. They reflect both personal philosophies and technical constraints. Between them, they do offer a rather complete range of choice for the Bible student. We hope you use them to their best advantage.

SPECIAL ONLINE BIBLE DATABASE IMPLEMENTATION COMPROMISES

SEARCH WORD VERIFICATION

Because SeedMaster displays so many more search verses at a time, and because background verification of words in a particular text is impractical, we do not verify the existence of a word in a given text as Online Bible does.

NO STRONG'S IN WORD LIST

We could not justify implementing Online Bible Strong's numbers in our Word List as we do with the SeedMaster version. If you have the SeedMaster STR database, the Word List lists each Strong's number, the Greek/Hebrew word, and the most common AV rendition. The STR has a special file to provide this information quickly. This data is not quickly available within Online Bible databases. Since most of the benefit is the supplemental information that we lack in Online Bible databases, we did not implement it.

CONVERTING WORD PICTURES

Broadman Press permits Online Bible to distribute all 6 volumes royalty-free. They did not choose to do so with our program. We must pay royalties on volumes 5 & 6, and are constrained to only sell them direct. Since OLB2SM converts RWP files to our format, we could be held liable for royalties on the converted files (which would be innumerable). Thus, we only allow OLB2SM to convert volumes 1-4 (copyright has expired). This is not our desire or decision. We do sell the complete set for an affordable $15.

SPECIAL NOTE TO ONLINE BIBLE DEALERS

We know that there is an army of dealers who sell copies of the Online Bible program and databases. It is not our intent to damage your ministry/business. In fact, we can help. If you also offer our program, you can continue to distribute the Online Bible files and add our Bible databases. We can provide (at wholesale pricing) our copyrighted databases (some of which are not available in Online Bible format). Contact us for details.

VALUE OF REGISTERING SM/Win

Locating an powerful, useful, and affordable Bible study/concordance program is DIFFICULT. We hope most people will appreciate our efforts in creating SeedMaster and will honor our request to register this program.

SeedMaster is distributed as Shareware. We have created SeedMaster for broad distribution and, under certain conditions, permit you to copy and pass the Shareware versions to others. PLEASE READ THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED IN THE DISTRIB.DOC FILE BEFORE YOU GIVE ANYONE ELSE A COPY. Although we ask you to send in a registration form and "registration fee" (if you find the software useful), we probably can't find you and make you do so. When you register your copy, you will receive:

Yes. There is a small charge for the diskettes and shipping costs (see the registration form). If you are an unregistered user, you can elect to pay the registration fee upon requesting a new copy.

WHY DISTRIBUTE SEEDMASTER THIS WAY?

WHAT ABOUT ENHANCED VERSIONS OF SM/Win?

As we improve the product, registered SM/Win users will be informed of new releases. We have quite a list of potential enhancements!

ARE YOU PUSHING A THEOLOGICAL BIAS?

No, but our range of Bible databases and Resources creates a risk. We know that a few scholars behind some of these works held personal views that include Unitarian, Universalist, Arian, or dispensational thinking, to name a few. In Bible scholarship, there is varying success in repressing one's personal views. However, we find no value in compounding any of their failings by judging and/or censoring works based on OUR views. We are not prepared to censor on behalf of thousands who use our products for different purposes (scholarship, personal devotions, etc.).

Therefore, understand that we do not intend to endorse or tout a particular view. We hope (and pray) that our users are able to discern bias and error while still reaping benefit and insight from these works. If you feel you need assistance in selecting materials, we would recommend you seek the counsel of a committed, godly pastor.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER BIBLE VERSIONS?

Theoretically, SeedMaster is compatible with any Bible version (including transliterated Hebrew). We want to make as many available as possible. Since many modern Bible texts other than the KJV are copyrighted (and require royalty payments on our part), they cannot be freely distributed and must be purchased directly from us or an authorized distributor. We try to keep costs as low as possible.

Please write, fax, modem, or call us for availability of specific versions you don't see here. We may have it!

Prices subject to change without notice.

WHAT CAN A USER DO TO HELP?

Because of our affordable pricing, we aren't taking out full-page ads in various journals. We rely mainly on Shareware distributors and word of mouth. Therefore, you can:

1. Pray for us.

2. Make copies of the Shareware materials for friends, fellow church members, etc.

3. Write "Letters to the Editor" to appropriate periodicals describing your experience with SM, and ask for a review.

4. If you win a $1M lottery and feel guilty, consider assigning the proceeds. (Mostly kidding...)

Thanks!

Demo Script
DEMO SCRIPT (Quick Tour)

This Demo Script (or Quick Tour) is designed to acquaint you with our SeedMaster/Windows Bible study software. It is based on a special "demo databases". (But if you do not have these databases, you can still follow much of the script!) These databases include:

Two Bible texts, the KJV (also called KJS) and Young's Literal Translation (YLT)*

Strong's number database (STR)*

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge cross-references*

Strong's Lexicon**

Restrictions include:

* Limited to the Gospel of John. If you move to other Bible books, you'll only get verse references--with no text.

** Definitions have been truncated to four lines of text to save space.

Hopefully, these database restrictions strike a proper balance of function and disk space that lets you best evaluate SM. Note you can order full databases from directly us at very reasonable costs, if you prefer.

Important Note: We suggest you move and size the Windows Help and SM/Win windows so you can see both on your screen at once. Then you can switch back and forth and follow the script easily. Or, you can print this Help topic to your printer.

Please Note: This demo version is not CRIPPLEWARE! White Harvest Software is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). This is a fully functional copy of our program with special, reduced data-bases to allow practical BBS distribution of our files. If we uploaded the full databases equivalent to what is in the demo databases, it would be over 7MB--compressed!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

We STRONGLY suggest you follow along with this Quick Tour. It is NOT exhaustive of SM's features, but it does give you an idea of the power and utility of the SM program. Armed with a basic frame-work, you can then explore SM's features as you wish.

We assume you have just installed the SM Demo. If not, we suggest you exit SM/Win and delete the OPTIONSW.DAT file (a fresh one with basic defaults will be re-created) so your windows will match our demo instructions.

VIEWING VERSES

SM/Win opens to John 1:1 in the KJS (King James with Strong's Support) Bible text. You can scroll the verses with the cursor keys. Press <Down>, and the text advances to John 1:2. To advance a "screen-full" of verses, press <Spacebar>. The last verse on the Screen becomes the first. The following is a summary of potential "cursor keys" to move around in View Mode.

Go to prior book	<Home>

Go to prior chapter	<PgUp>

Move up one verse	<Up> or <Left>

Move down one window full	<Space>

Move down one verse	<Down> or <Right>

Go to next chapter	<PgDn>

Go to next book	<End>

Let's go back to John 1:1. We could cursor there easily, but suppose we were in Genesis 1:1? That might take a while! Instead, click on the Goto button  [image]  (or you could use New Verse on the View Menu) to bring up the Bible verse selection menu. Note that you can select any Bible book via a menu--you don't have to remember any abbreviation schemes. Select John, then enter <1> for the chapter. Note that SM displays the available range of chapters in John. Then press <Tab> and press <1>, <Enter> to jump back to John 1:1.

Note that the text is formatted in paragraphs. You can turn paragraphs off and display the verses on separate lines. Also note the text footnotes that are enclosed in {curly braces}. You can eliminate them. Let's change both. We can use the Screen Format dialog found on the View Menu. Select Screen Format on the View menu. Click on the Paragraph Form checkbox to remove the "X". Then click on Suppress {Footnotes} to add an "X". Click on the OK button.

Note that the text now lacks paragraphs and footnotes. Now lets turn them back on, using the Ribbon buttons. Click on  [image]  to restore Paragraph Form. Click on  [image]  to restore Footnotes. Now, lets show the Strong's numbers in the KJS text. Click on  [image]  .

Now see what you have done! The Strong's numbers show up in the Bible text! Now you can tell which Strong's number (and thereby which Greek word) is underlying the English text at any point. If you want,you could pop-up the Lexicon window and ask for a Strong's number to get it's definition. But, if the Strong's number is already displayed in View mode, you can use SM's Hypertext features. Double-click on <3056> in John 1:1.

Up pop's the Strong's Lexicon, pre-set to 3056! Remember, we've truncated the definitions to four lines to save space on this demo. Otherwise, you'd have even more information! Press the "Vertical Tile" button  [image]  to arrange these windows. Now double-click the mouse on another Strong's number. The definition in the Lexicon window is updated automatically! We'll come back to the Lexicon later. For now, we'll close the window. Click once on the Lexicon window to make it active, then select Close from the File Menu.

We'll search on "Word" and 3056 later. For now, let's look at how Young's Literal (YLT) renders John 1:1. First, we switch to YLT by clicking on the Change Version button  [image]  . Select the YLT version and click on OK.

But perhaps you'd prefer to compare YLT and KJV side by side... That's easy! Click on the New Study button  [image]  to add a new window. Then click Horizontal Tile  [image]  to arrange the two YLT windows side by side. Now switch one of them to the KJV  [image]  .Now you can really compare the texts. And, if needed, you could add more side by side windows! Each window can be the same version (for parallel passages) or different versions for comparisons.

Press <Down>. Note that the active KJS window moved by itself. With side by side windows, you also scroll windows together. Press <Up>, then press the Synchronize Views button  [image]  . Now press <Down> and watch both translations move together. Press <Up> to return to John 1:1.

SM also offers a "Interlinear View" of up to five translations in a single study window (in View mode). First, lets remove the YLT window. Click on it to make it active, the select Close from the File Menu. Next, choose Screen Format from the View Menu. This time, click Use Interlinear Form to have an "X". Then, in the Interlinear Order field, we will select and define the order of the versions to be YLT followed by KJS. Enter "YK" in that field. Then click on OK.

Now, for each verse, you have both translations in the same window. Interlinear form can be useful for if you often compare one or more texts. You can use up to five in any order!

Now lets turn Interlinear Form off using the  [image]  button.

TREASURY CROSS-REFERENCES

Before we search, let's see if there are any important cross-references for "Word" to be found in the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (TSK). Click on the  [image]  button to open a Commentary window. Commentary windows hold "verse-by-verse" information. It defaults to let you enter your own personal comments. To view the TSK entry, click on the Change Commentary button  [image]  and Select the TSK. Then click OK. Now click  [image]  to tile the windows. Note that in addition to an outline of chapter 1, it does have references for "the Word" (scroll down to see it, if necessary). Only one of them is really available in our demo, so let's take a look at it. Double-click on "# 14" (which refers to verse 14 of the current chapter 1). A special edit window pops up so you can see/cut/copy the text of the cross-reference verse! It defaults to the Bible version and text options of your View window. Now, close it by selecting Close from the File Menu.

You can keep the TSK around as you scroll verses in View. Click on the View window to make it active. Then, press <Down> twice. The TSK is updated to the current verse in View!. Press <Up> twice to return to John 1:1. Now, lets remove the TSK window. Click on it to make it active, then select Close (File Menu). Finally, lets "tidy up" the display by clicking on  [image]  .

(Advanced uses of the TSK and similar resources include editing and adding to the references, converting cross-references to a Search file, importing a Search file to create references, searching the resource text, and more!)

SIMPLE SEARCHING

Ok, let's do a simple search! First let's search on the word "Word".

Click on the Word/Phrase Search button  [image]  . The brings up the Word/Phrase Dialog. Enter "Word" (without the quote marks), then examine your options. Since we only have one word, "Word Order" is ignored, but note that you can restrict Search results on multiple words to 3 types of word order. Let's enforce Case Sensitivity, so click on that checkbox. Then click OK to begin the Search.

Since we enforced Case Sensitivity, SM screens each verse containing "word" to make sure the case matches exactly as we typed it. The result is 2 verses (in our limited database) that are shown in the Search mode of our Study window.

Now, let's back up and see what eliminating Case Sensitivity will do to the number of "hits" in our Search. To clear this Search and return to View mode, you can click on  [image]  , press <Esc>, or click the right mouse button in the window. These back you up one "mode". Now click on  [image]  again. The last Word/Phrase is automatically retained, so just click on Case Sensitive and then click on OK. Now we found 20 verses!

But the word "word" doesn't appear in the fragments to the right of the references. Let's fix that! Select Screen Format from the View menu. On the Screen Format Dialog, click on Word Context in the Verse Fragments section. Then, click OK.

Now we can screen how a word is used! Another option to view Search results is to "Peek" a verse in context (in Peek mode). Press <Enter> (or double-click) on John 1:1. Now you can see and scroll the verse in context--with search word(s) highlighted. Press <Esc> to return to the Search.

Note that in every instance, "word" has the Strong's number 3056 associated with it. What if we just searched on 3056? Let's try! Press <Esc>, select  [image]  and just enter "3056" as your Word/Phrase. Click OK. Aha! 36 verses! So by searching Strong's we can sometimes find related verses that an English translation may hide from us!

(Advanced uses of Search includes saving and retrieving search files, merging searches using AND, OR, NOT and XOR logic, converting to and from cross-references, adding and deleting verses to a search, printing all or part of a search, restricting searches to specific verse ranges, and more!)

WORD LIST SEARCHES

Let's look at word searches from another angle. Press <Esc>, and then start the Word List by clicking  [image]  .SM offers an exhaustive Word List for each Bible text. The list is alphabetical, and to the right of each word, the number of verses it occurs in is displayed.

To display Word List starting with our word "Word", enter it and press <Enter>. The words are shown in alphabetical order. You can Search directly from the Word List. Press <Enter> on "Word". This gives the same Search results that the Word/Phrase search did. Press <Esc>. Not that the Word List also shows us that the variation "words" is found in 19 verses.

What if we wanted to search on either "Word" or "words"? Press <Spacebar> on "Word". (The little "|" symbol to the right of the word means it is selected for OR logic. You can change it to AND logic on the Words Menu.) Now press <Down> to move to "words" and then press <Spacebar> to toggle it too. Now select Search Toggled on the Edit Menu. The total is 38 verses. You can scroll these hits and Peek at them in context by pressing <Enter>. When you are finished, press <Esc> to return to the Word List.

SM even makes the Strong's numbers available to you in the Word List. Click on  [image]  to "restart" the list to a new "word". Key in "3056" and press <Enter>. The Strong's numbers Word List is special. It gives you the Strong's number, the transliterated Greek (or Hebrew) word, AND the most common KJV rendering of that number. The Lexicon is a quick  [image]  away! Try it!

While we're here in the Lexicon, note that the definition says 3056 is derived from 3004. What if we want to look up 3004? Well, you could click on  [image]  again and SM would ask for a new number--but there is an easier way. Just double-click on 3004. Now we have that definition! Want to go back to 3056? Press <Esc> (or click  [image]  , or right mouse button). Wasn't that easy? Now lets Close (File Menu) the Lexicon window, then press <Esc> to return to the View mode.

FINAL COMMENTS

Of course, we could've been using SM's Notepad all this time to take notes on our findings, and we could've put Bible, TSK or Lexicon text into the Windows Clipboard. Again, this is just a quick tour--there is so much more to tell. But, this should provide a quick idea of some of SM's basic features--and you can explore further with this program.

Finally, everyone who wants to use SM should use select Registration Form from the Help Menu to find out how to register SM and to learn about the available Bible translations. Registration Form will print a form that you can use to register or order Bible translations and databases.

We hope you enjoy exploring and using SeedMaster.

As always, we appreciate your support!

Send References Only

The Send References Only check box allows you to print only Verse References, without the verses' text. This is useful if you want a list of reference verses (from a SEARCH) without the accompanying text. If the box is checked, only the references will be printed. If you are not printing from SEARCH, this option does not have any meaning and this check box field is unavailable.

Send Toggled Only

Screen Format

The Screen Format dialog box allows you to set screen options in SM/Win:

Verse Buffer Size

Verse Buffer Size controls the amount of disk buffering performed while VIEWing verses. The lower the number, the faster SM/Win refreshes its disk buffers as you scroll verses. In general, low values are best for slower systems. Often, only one half of the verses buffered will be displayed in the VIEW or PEEK window at a time. If they do not fill up the window, the rest of it will be blank. Valid values range from 30 to 99.

Paragraph Form

Paragraph Form controls formatting of verse. If checked, it prints the maximum number of verses in the available space. If you do not use the paragraph form, the verses will be separated, each beginning on a new line. Some prefer non-paragraphed display. It fills up space with fewer verses than paragraph display, so for the screen you can use a lower

Suppress {Footnotes}

Suppress {Footnotes} lets you remove Bible text footnotes appearing in braces {}. If your Bible text does not contain footnotes, this option has no effect. Most Bible versions have footnotes. If checked, footnotes will be suppressed.

Show Strong's #

Check Show Strong's # to include the Strong's numbers in <brackets> within the KJS (King James with Strongs support) or Online Bible av text. This option requires both the SeedMaster KJS and STR databases, or an compatible Online Bible database with similar capability.

Use Interlinear Form

Use Interlinear Form lets you display multiple Bible versions for each verse. Each version appears, one after another. The version type appears after the verse text. If checked, Use Interlinear Form will use the Interlinear Order defined under Interlinear Form below.

Interlinear Form

Interlinear Form lets you customize the order of interlinear Bible versions by entering codes for up to five Bible versions. Enter the codes for the Bible versions you want displayed, in order. SeedMaster Bible databases codes are given on the Dialog box and are entered in UPPERCASE. To enter Online Bible database codes, enter the first letter of the database abbreviation in lowercase. If more than one Online Bible database starts with the same letter, the first one found (using the order specified in the Directories Dialog on the File Menu) with the letter will be used.

For example, If you wanted to show the SeedMaster NKJV database, then the Online Bible AV database in that order, you would use "Ja".

We can't think why you would want to, but you can use the same Bible version more than once. "KKKKK" would sure look strange, but it will work.

Verse Fragments

Verse Fragments lets you speed up the display of Search results.

If you select "None", only the verse references (no verse text) will appear. This can result in significantly faster searches, especially on slow computers or on CD-ROM. You can then view the verse text in context by pressing <Enter> on selected verses.

If you choose "Verse Start" or "Word Context", a fragment of the verse will be displayed in the adjoining window.

If you use "Verse Start", the beginning of the verse will show. Many people recognize a verse by how it starts, rather than  the words in the middle. Also, it is a little faster than "Word Context".

If your answer is "Word Context", the context of the searched word(s) will show. If more than one word is used, the first one in the verse is keyed on. This helps you quickly screen word uses. For example, the word "lie" can indicate falsehood or a reclining position.


Enter Strong's #

The Enter Strong's # Dialog lets you reset the LEXICON window to a new Strong's definition. Hebrew/OT numbers must be prefixed with a zero. For example, the Old Testament number 430 is entered as 0430.

Valid OT Range:	01 to 08853

Valid NT Range:	1 to 5899


Directories Dialog

Directories allows you to specify the directories where SM/Win looks for:

User COMMENTARY and User XRefs

SeedMaster Bibles and Resources

Online Bible Bibles and Resources

User Cmts, Xrefs

The User Commentary and User XRefs files will be created, if not found, in this directory. If this field is blank, the default SM/Win directory is used. Note: If multiple people use SeedMaster on the same computer, this option allows you to let each person create their own personal commentary and cross references.

Bible/Resource #1 thru #4

You can have SeedMaster Bible databases and Resource databases in up to four different drives and directories. If this field is blank, the default SM/Win directory is used. The directories are searched in order (1 thru 4) and the last one containing a given database will be used. For example, assume you have a CD-ROM containing SeedMaster Bible databases and you want faster access to the KJS database. You can copy the KJS database to your hard drive, then list the path to the hard drive after the CD-ROM path. The hard drive based KJS will take precedence over the CD-ROM copy!

Online Bible Base

This entry tells SM/Win where the "Base" directory of an Online Bible system is. The "Base" directory is where the Online Bible program is stored, and is the directory from which the various Online Bible databases and Resources branch. Often, it is the C:\BIBLE directory. On our joint CD-ROM, it is X:\OLB\BIBLE, where X is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

Online Bible Sub-Dirs

This field is where you enter up to five Online Bible database sub-directory names. These sub-directory names must be sub-directories of the Online Bible "Base" directory. You do not enter any drive letters, back-slashes, etc. Rather, simply enter the directory name of each Online Bible database. Put a space between each directory. For example, if you have the Scholar Pak and the AV-RSV, enter: SCHOLAR  AV-RSV in this field.

If you have more than five Online Bible databases, this option lets you select which five you want to access in SM/Win. Also, it lets you select the order of the Online Bible databases. This order is sometimes important in determining the Online Bible database used in the Interlinear Form selected in the Screen Format dialog box.

Any directory changes will take effect the next time you start SM/Win. If you put a SeedMaster Bible database in a different drive or directory than the one the SM/Win program is in, you will need to define it here so the next time SM/Win starts, it will find the Bible text.


Merge Searches
Merge

You can Merge a stored Search with the current search on the screen using AND, OR, XOR or NOT logic. The Merge dialog lets you choose your merge type:

OR

This creates a search containing all verses in either of the original searches. Use it when you want to combine two search lists into one comprehensive list.

AND

This builds a search containing only those verses in both of the original searches. Use it when you want to look at verses common to two searches.

XOR

XOR stands for "eXclusive OR". It creates a search containing verses in either original search--but not both.

NOT

This removes from the screen search any verses in the disk-based search. Suppose your disk search was for the word "hate", and your screen search was for the word "love". Example:

The screen search contains verses:	1, 2, 3, 5

The disk search contains:	1, 2, 4

OR result:	1, 2, 3, 4, 5

AND result:	1, 2

XOR result:	3, 4, 5

NOT result:	3, 5

After you exit the Merge dialog window, the File List will appear. Select the search file you wish to merge. SM/Win will then merge that file with the existing search on the screen.


Search Ranges

Range(s) allows you to define up to 26 different Search ranges - either continuous or non-continuous. The possible ranges include:

Add All Verses

Add Old Test. 	(Old Testament)

Add New Test.	(New Testament)

Add Book...	(Specific Book)

Add Range... 	(Any Specific Range)

You can create overlapping ranges. For instance, you could use Add Old Test. and Add All Verses.

To delete a sub-range, use the Delete button.

When you select the OK button to exit, SM/Win builds the cumulative search range that encompasses all defined ranges. This cumulative range will be used for all subsequent searches until it is redefined.


Screen Fonts

You can set screen fonts for three types of text in SM/Win's windows:

Set Normal

Set Normal lets you select the font for "normal" Bible text windows, such as the non-Greek SeedMaster and Online Bible databases. Important: This font size for this font overrides the font size of the Greek font.

Set Greek

Set Greek lets you select the font for the SeedMaster Greek New Test. (GNT) database and Online Bible Greek texts. This lets you use:

1. The standard Windows Symbol font, which offers Greek characters, but no breathing marks.

2. The separately available SeedMaster Greek font, which offers the Greek characters and breathing marks.

Note: The Greek font size is ignored and the font size for the Normal font will be used.

Set Hebrew

Set Hebrew lets you select the Hebrew font for the SeedMaster BHS and Online Bible BHS-BHM databases.

Set Resource

Set Resource lets you select a separate font for Display/Hypertext Mode of Resource windows. Because of their text-based heritage, these materials often look best in a mono-spaced font such as Courier, rather than a proportional spaced font like Times New Roman.

Note: This selection is only available for the Display/Hypertext Mode of the Resources. Resources that display in Edit Mode only (Notepad, View Cross References) or other Resources displaying in their Edit Mode will use the standard Windows editing font.

Superscript References

If Superscript References is checked, Bible verse references in the Bible text will appear as superscripts.

Greek Breathing

If Greek Breathing is checked, SM will attempt to display breathing marks for the SeedMaster GNT and LXX databases. A SeedMaster Greek font which permits breathing marks is required and available from White Harvest Software! In addition, final Sigmas will be converted and displayed.

Hebrew Right to Left

If check, this option will display the SeedMaster BHS and/or the Online Bible BHS-BHM Bible text in standard Hebrew Right to Left format. Fonts are available from White Harvest Software.

Search Hits

You can choose the font effects you want to use to distinguish Search words when displaying Bible text in Search and Peek modes.


Switch Commentary Type

The Switch Commentary Type Dialog lets you switch between available COMMENTARY types.

If a COMMENTARY Resource type is grayed, it is not available to SM/Win.


Switch Topics Type

The Switch Topics Type Dialog lets you switch between available TOPICS types.

If a TOPICS Resource type is grayed, it is not available to SM/Win.


Printer Fonts

You can set printer fonts for three types of text in SM/Win's windows:

Set Normal

Set Normal lets you select the font for "normal" Bible text, such as the non-Greek SeedMaster and Online Bible databases. Important: This font size for this font overrides the font size of the Greek font.

Set Greek

Set Greek lets you select the font for the SeedMaster Greek New Test. (GNT) database or Online Bible Greek databases. This lets you use:

1. The standard Windows Symbol font, which offers Greek characters, but no breathing marks.

2. The separately available SeedMaster Greek font, which offers the Greek characters and breathing marks.

Note: The Greek font size is ignored and the font size for the Normal font will be used.

Set Hebrew

Set Hebrew lets you select the Hebrew font for the SeedMaster BHS and Online Bible BHS-BHM databases.

Set Resource

Set Resource lets you select a separate font for the Resource materials. Because of their text-based heritage, they often look best in a mono-spaced font such as Courier, rather than a proportional spaced font like Times New Roman.

Superscript References

If Superscript References is checked, Bible verse references in the Bible text will appear as superscripts.

Search Hits

You can choose the font effects you want to use to distinguish Search hit words when printing from Search and Peek modes.


Enable Resource Write Access

The Enable Resource Write Access Dialog lets you enable and disable updating of your SM/Win Resource files. This lets you either add to or update the entries--or "write protect" the files against accidental changes.

If a Resource type is checked, Write Access is enabled.

Important Note: SM/Win only updates SeedMaster formatted Resource files. It does not update Online Bible Resources. The OLB2SM utility will allow you to convert your Online Bible Resources to SeedMaster format.


Enable Fast Access

The Enable Fast Access Dialog lets you enable and disable fast access of your SeedMaster Bible databases. This option is intended to speed Bible text access on CD-ROM drives--especially during SEARCHes. This has no beneficial effect on hard drive based SeedMaster databases and is unavailable for Online Bible databases.

If a Database type is checked, Fast Access is enabled and about 125K of indexing information per Fast Access database will be copied to the directory containing the OPTIONSW.DAT file.


Select Verse Range
Select Range

The Select Range Dialog lets you select a range of verses. Enter a beginning and ending verse, which can overlap book and chapter boundaries.

Note: You can enter the beginning and ending verse in any order in the top and bottom entries.


Enter Topic

The Enter Topic # Dialog lets you select a new TOPIC number. Enter a number between 0 and 32,767. There is a general index in TOPIC number 0.


Print Dialog

The Margins fields allow you to control the margins used on your page. The number to enter is in tenths of an inch. So, if you want a one inch margin, enter 10. If you wanted an inch and one half, enter 15.

Paragraph Form

Check the Paragraph Form check box if you want to print Bible text from VIEW or PEEK mode in paragraph form. Un-check the check box if you want the Bible verses separated, each beginning on a new line. Paragraph form is not available if you print verse by verse Commentary materials with the Bible text or if you Use Interlinear Form below.

Show Strong's #

Check Show Strong's # to include the Strong's numbers in <brackets> within the KJS (King James with Strongs support) or Online Bible av text. This option requires both the SeedMaster KJS and STR databases, or an compatible Online Bible database with similar capability.

Use Interlinear Form

Check the Use Interlinear Form check box if you want to print using the Interlinear Order entered on the Screen Format Dialog from the View Menu. Un-check the box if you want to use the default Bible version for the currently selected SM/Win client window.

Print Commentary w/ Verses

The Print Commentary With Verses check box field allows you to print your personal, User Commentary text with the Bible verses that you print from VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK. If the box is checked, User Commentary will print with the verses.

Print User Xrefs w/ Verses

Check this option to print your personal, User Cross References with the Bible verses that you print from VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK

Send Matt. Henry w/ Verses

Check this option to print the Matthew Henry Concise Commentary with the Bible verses that you print from VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK

Print People's NT w/ Verses

Check this option to print the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge cross-references with the Bible verses that you print from VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK

Print Word Pict NT w/ Verses

Check this option to print the Word Pictures in the New Testament with the Bible verses that you print from VIEW, SEARCH or PEEK

Print References Only

The Print References Only check box field allows you to print only Verse References, without the verses' text. This is useful if you want a list of reference verses (from a SEARCH) without the accompanying text. If the box is checked, only the references will be printed.

Print Toggled Only

The Print Toggled Only check box field allows you to only print SEARCH verses you have toggled ON (*). If the box is checked, only toggled verses will print. If it is not, all SEARCH verses will be printed.

Range...

When printing from VIEW, PEEK or COMMENTARY, you need to select a Range of verses. The default range is the current verse and is shown to the right of the Range Button. Selecting the Range Button brings up the Range Dialog Box.

Print...

Use the Print Button when you are ready to print.

Select Cancel to return to your previous SM/Win client window.


Registration Form

Registration Form lets you register your copy of SM/Win or order additional Bible databases and Resources.

This percentage is calculated using simple integer math, and is subject to a small amount of rounding error. If you press <Enter> on a book, the underlying chapters will be displayed. If you press <Enter> on a chapter, the search list will be advanced to the first verse within that chapter. If there is no hits within that chapter, the search list will be advanced to the nearest verse. Search Statistics can be used to quickly advance to other hits within a search list.

Single Word Input

Enter a single word.

If you want to type accented characters for the SeedMaster RVA (Spanish) database, type an apostrophe before the accented character. For instance, to type an accented e type 'e. The proper characters will appear in the special window below. If you are typing in Greek characters for the SeedMaster GNT database, the characters in the Symbol character set will appear in the special window.

Important Note: If you have the SeedMaster STR (Strong's) database, you can enter a Strong's number for the Word List as well. Then, the special Strong's Word List will display. It displays each Strong's number followed by the Greek/Hebrew word, the most common KJV rendition and the number of occurrences in Bible. To enter a OT/Hebrew Strong's number, pre-fix it with a zero. For example, to view the OT number 430, enter "0430". The Lexicon window can even be synchronized to the current Strong's number in the Word List so you can view definitions as you browse!

Valid Old Testament Range:	01 to 08853

Valid New Testament Range:	1 to 5899

Note: This option requires the SeedMaster STR database and is not available for Online Bible databases as it requires a special supplemental file not available in Online Bible. Online Bible users can add just the STR database to take advantage of this feature.


Word/Phrase Dialog
Word/Phrase

Find:

Enter the word or phrase words you wish to Search for.

Spanish/Greek

If you want to type accented characters for the RVA (Spanish) database, type an apostrophe before the accented character. For instance, to type an accented e type 'e. The proper characters will appear in the special window below. If you are typing in Greek for the SeedMaster GNT database, the characters in the Symbol character set will appear in the special window.

Wildcards

You can use the "*" as a wildcard at the beginning and/or end of a search word. For instance, you can use "*lov*" to find "beloved", "loved", etc. If you use the wildcard symbol "*" at the beginning of a search word, the search will take longer, since SM/Win must search through every word in its word list, looking for the word root.

Strong's Numbers

You may also enter Strong's numbers with or without other words. You need not be in the SeedMaster KJS or the Online Bible AV database to search Strong's numbers (although Strong's number hits cannot be displayed). You do need access to either the SeedMaster STR database or a Strong's compatible Online database! Strong's numbers are ignored for Word Order purposes. They basically operate as a logical AND on any other words or Strong's numbers. To enter a OT/Hebrew Strong's number, pre-fix it with a zero. For example, to view the OT number 430, enter "0430".

Valid Old Testament Range:	01 to 08853

Valid New Testament Range:	1 to 5899

Punctuation

Punctuation symbols are ignored for searching purposes. The only exception is an apostrophe imbedded in a word (such as those indicating possession i.e., "the lion's mouth"). Apostrophes at the end of a word are ignored.

Paste Sel

If you have text selected in the special Edit window for Bible verses, you can paste it into the Find entry by selecting this button.

Case Sensitive

If the Case Sensitive box is not checked, case sensitivity will not be enforced. This will generate the most references from a word combination, and will be the fastest search. If the box is checked, case sensitivity will be enforced. SM/Win must then screen potential verses containing phrase words for the proper cases. This takes more time.

Word Order

If you select "None", no order will be enforced. This will generate the most references from a word combination, and will be the fastest search.

If you select "General" or "Literal", SM/Win must screen potential verses containing phrase words for the proper order. This takes more time than a "None" search, but it will be faster than you can screen the verses manually.

If you choose "General" order, the words will be in order, but other words may be BETWEEN the phrase words.

If you use "Literal" order, only spaces or punctuation will be permitted between words.

If you have enabled Case Sensitive on the dialog box, adding Word Order won't significantly slow down a search.


New Verse Dialog
New Verse

Select the book, chapter, and verse you want to go to. The valid range of chapters and verses will be displayed in each field.

UNDOCUMENTED FEATURES:

All View/Peek

The All View/Peek check box lets you choose whether to move all open View and Peek windows or only the active window.

Note: "New Verse" movements are not automatically synchronized, since that would prohibit you from viewing parallel passages. The All View/Peek option lets you control whether "New Verse" moves just the active window or all applicable windows and is completely independent of other synchronization options. This gives you the greatest flexibility in setting up your Bible studies.

Bookmarks

The Bookmarks section lets you store and recall up to 20 commonly accessed verses.

To add a verse to Bookmarks, set the dialog to the desired book, chapter and verse, then push the ADD button.

To select a verse from Bookmarks, simply select one of the verses and push the USE button. The New Verse Dialog will update to the selected verse.

Notes

You do not need to delete verses from Bookmarks. If you try to add a 21st verse to Bookmarks, all verses will be shifted up one place. The first verse will be deleted from the list and the new verse will be placed at the end.

All verses ADDed to the Bookmarks are saved--even if you Cancel out of the Dialog. So, you can set a number of verses and then select Cancel to return to your study.

New Lexicon lets you open the single LEXICON window or reset the Lexicon to a new Strong's number if the Lexicon window is already open. If grayed, the Lexicon database is not available.

Delete is used in SEARCH to delete the selected verse reference.

Insert is used to insert a SEARCH verse reference or a verse range.

Convert Search to Paste XRefs is used to convert the current Search window contents (or a existing Search file if another window type is active) to a textual, cross-reference format in the Paste buffer that is compatible with the Hypertext jumps available in the Resources (such as the User Commentary or User XRefs). You can then Paste it into the Notepad or any of the Resources (in Edit Mode) to create your own materials and Resources.

Convert Xrefs to Search File is used to convert the cross-references in a given Resource (that Resource must be the active window) to a Search file. This file can then be opened, viewed and edited in Search mode, or merged with other Searches.

Resource Edit is used to "toggle" in and out of Edit and Display/Hypertext Mode in a Resource window.

New Feature: This selection will also copy the first 10 verses from a View window into the special Edit window. You can then use the mouse to select a portion of the text to be copied to the Clipboard or to be used in a Word/Phrase Search. (Make sure you switch back to the View window before selecting Word/Phrase Search.)

Toggle "toggle" words in WORD or verse references in SEARCH. In WORD, Search Toggled combines toggled words using the Word Logic (AND or OR). In SEARCH, Combine Toggled combines toggled verses and removes non-toggled from the search.

Search Toggled lets you search on any toggled WORD List words (or Strong's numbers) in the Word List, using the current Search Range.

Delete Non-Toggled lets you delete the non-toggled search verses from a SEARCH, and only toggled verses will remain.

Synchronize Views to Search lets you "synchronize" the scrolling of all open VIEW and/or PEEK windows to a SEARCH window. This provides "PEEK" function while the SEARCH is still on the screen. If checked, Synchronize Views to Search is ON. If a VIEW or PEEK window is minimized to an icon, it will not be synchronized.

Synchronize Lex to Word List lets you "synchronize" the Lexicon window (if open) to the current Strong's number in the Word List. This lets you browse the Strong's numbers and view the definition for each.

Screen Fonts lets you set the screen fonts for normal and Greek Bible texts as well as Resource materials.

Screen Format lets you set the Verse Buffer Size, Paragraph Form, Suppress {Footnotes}, Show Strong's #, Use Interlinear Form, Interlinear Form and Search Verse Fragments display options.


Search Menu

Word/Phrase allows you to initiate a Word/Phrase Search on words, phrases and/or Strong's numbers with options to enforce case sensitivity and word order.

Important Note: Word/Phrase will also let you search Bible Resources that are in SeedMaster format only (not Online Bible format) for words and numbers. Word order and case sensitivity are not enforced. You can then "page" through the Resource record "hits" using <Ctrl> plus <PgUp>, <PgDn>, <Home> and <End> keys.

Search Statistics brings up the Search Statistics search summary.

Ranges allows you to specify a verse range to be used for WORD List and SEARCH searches. Up to 26 non-continuous search ranges may be defined.

Find lets you enter a word to search for in NOTEPAD, a Resource (in Edit Mode), and VIEW/PEEK. It then advances to the next occurrence of the word.

Next performs a "forward" search of the last Find in NOTEPAD, a Resource (in Edit Mode), and VIEW/PEEK. It advances to the next occurrence of the word.

Previous is similar to Next (above), except it finds the previous occurrence of a word.

(Open Windows)

All open SM/Win windows are listed at the end of the Window menu. You can bring a window to the top and make it active by selecting it from this list.


Word Logic

Word Logic lets you select the type of search logic that will be applied when you search toggled words from the Word List.

Two options are available:

OR Logic

OR Logic only requires that at least one of the toggled words in the Word List be present in a verse for it to count as a "hit". The "|" symbol will appear to the right of toggled words to remind you that you are using OR Logic.

AND Logic

AND Logic requires that every toggled word in the Word List be present in a verse for it to count as a "hit". The "&" symbol will appear to the right of toggled words to remind you that you are using AND Logic.

The logic type that you select will be applied to all toggled words.

Notes:
