I see what you describe Chris, but I can't get the "dictionary lookup" to
find the Hebrew words (tried from Aleppo, BHS, and HebModern)
Same with Thayer.
Also... Thayer shows entries in all uppercase greek. I can't really complain
about this due to software I'm writing doing the same thing with english,
but it looks strange, and mat be related to why I can't do lookups.

I've just experimented some more, I can copy the word, and paste into the
top of the list of words, and the correct word often turns up (have to turn
off cantillation, vowel points, and greek accents) But right clicking the
word and getting a dictionary lookup does not work. Glossary pop-up works.

Entries still display @ in the middle of words for a few entries. (should
it?)

I'm not seeing this problem, but I have found links in MHC that don't all
work.
eg Half way down the entry for Gen 1:1 there is
John i. 3, 10; Eph. iii. 9; Col. i. 16; Heb. 1. 2
The resulting verse list does not include Hebrews 1:2

MHC, JFB, and RWP appear to be showing chapter and book heading entries
ok... except for what looks like a rc3 bug when swapping between books of
the bible, where the verse always advances to the first verse, and when
swappign between modules, where the entry for the last verse of the previous
chapter is shown.
