Tomorrow 1.0beta1 will be released. Time was too short today.
I think the problem you decsribed above was a bug I fixed some days ago.

Which version are you using? If you are not using beta1, could you test again 
after I released it (will be announced on www.bibletime.de)?

Ok.

Which help button are you talking about?
The helpbrowser of KDE2 or the "Help->Contents" menu item in BibleTime?

I'm glad to hear this.

My school leaving examination is around the beginning of 2002, so I don't 
have to spend all the time with learning for it.
But I'll have much less time.
