Dan,
	Yeah, the layout has changed now that we use the SWORD library 
defaults.  Also, it's not the same as the windows frontend.  I have 
books placed in the 'books' folder now, so sword.conf will be used to 
find them AND books on SD/MMC cards.  If you read the INSTALL.txt in the 
zip file, it will explain the preferred layout, and the .zip file 
contains the correct subdirectories, so you should unzip it and preserve 
directories.

	What you show below includes a few workarounds that should not be 
necessary any longer.  So, I would recommend removing \Program 
Files\sword and starting over with the zip file (and reading the 
INSTALL.txt)

	Also, I can't confirm that these modules actually work.  I've tried 
BHS, ASV, and WHNU, and all seem to lookup fine.  I still have font 
issues, but for the ASV, I get readable text, and the other 2 I get the 
correct number of [] boxes :)  Hoping someone can tell me how to use 
other fonts on CE.


	Hope this helps.  Keep me posted on your progress,
		-Troy.
