Bible Programs User Guide

(v2.0 by Simcha Kuritzky) Below are listed 4 examples of tasks to which the enclosed Bible programs are well-suited. It is difficult to document GUI systems without graphics, but I will do my best. Each line will begin with a verb, and when commands are listed, the full name of the command is given in parentheses. If you are instructed to type an answer to a question, the meaning of the answer is given in parenthesis. I am not including the "y" you must type at the beginning of each program to tell it that you wish to continue. I am also not including the answers you must give to the Read program concerning whether the screen is interlaced, or the font with which the file is to be displayed. The CLI version of these programs have an expert mode, to allow you to specify all of the parameters from a script file. These are included below in curly brackets {}. 1.
