Jónatas,
	A couple issues:

	SWORD is case-sensitive.  Try specifying the module name exactly.
	SWORD finds it's modules a number of ways.  Not sure how your setup is 
configured on the Mac, but one sure way, as Manfred already pointed out, 
is to cd to the directory where the module is located.  To be more 
specific, please cd to Finney.swd.  On most platforms, SWORD puts all 
modules together in the same directory.  I believe MacSword installs 
each module in its own subdirectory-- which is different.

		-Troy.
