B I B L E E X P E D I T I O N Complete Bible Study Toolbox Copyright 1990 - Sunrise Innovations, Inc. Bible Expedition is the best value available in todays Computer Bible market. A bold statement considering the many quality programs available. However, many computer Bible programs have been purchased with great intentions only to end up on the shelf due to the programs lack of real usefulness. Fast searches, hundreds of features in pull down windows and big ticket prices have become the norm in recent years. Yet, once you have done your fast search or you have selected a whole list of features, you are still faced with a fairly basic computer program. Enter BIBLE EXPEDITION. BOOKMARKERS Save your place in the Bible, 30 times per project/theme, and have immediate return access. MARGIN NOTES Enter four lines of text attached to each verse as you do in your printed Bible. This is in addition to other text files you may create. SPELLING HELP BE contains a Word List of each and every word in the King James Bible. Enter a word or fragment and BE will check the spelling or offer a word close to the fragment you entered. WORD PROCESSOR BE has it's own word processor. Our WP can import VERSES or ASCII text. It can do intratext searches, get new files, List Bookmarkers and more. With BE's Word Processor, you can jump back and forth between text with the pressing of one key without losing your text or your place in scripture. EASY TO USE It is the easiest Bible program available today. Simple, intuitive menus make the manual an unneeded item. PRICE Best of all. Our Introductory Price is just $49 (plus $3 shipping). This offer is good until July 31, 1991 when the regular price of $69 comes into effect. Dealer prices are available to legitimate computer dealers or bookstore owners for quantity purchases. BIBLE EXPEDITION. For the student of the Bible who wants more from their Computer Bible program than just fast verses. Permission is granted to computer bulletin boards, shareware distributors and individuals to copy and distribute the DEMONSTRATION VERSION of Bible Expedition as long as no more than $6 is charged (per copy) and Sunrise Innovations receives a copy of your catalog (for shareware distributors only). The full version of Bible Expedition is NOT shareware or public domain. For your copy, write: Sunrise Innovations, Inc. Post Office Box 11354 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411 Complete copies of Bible Expedition can be obtained for the low price of $49 (plus $3 shipping). This is an introductory price good through July 31, 1991. At that time, the regular price will be just $69 (plus $3 shipping). Included with complete copies of BE is the entire King James Bible text, the complete program, a manual and six months of written support. We will also offer registered users one discounted upgrade as they become available. SUNRISE INNOVATIONS AND BIBLE EXPEDITION INFORMATION Although Sunrise Innovations is a business, it is viewed by the stockholders and officers as a personal ministry. Our goal is to help students of the Bible use their computers more effectively and efficiently in the study of the Bible. In addition to each officers individual giving at their local church, Sunrise Innovations has written into its corporate bylaws the directive to give a specific percentage of our profits to board recommended ministries. We are interested in your input. While we consider each and every recommendation, it is impossible to implement all of them. As input is received we consider 1) Will it help all users 2) Is it in keeping with our goals 3) Is it feasible financially and time-wise. If you have suggestions, we wish to hear them. Feel free to write us at the address above. SHAREWARE AND THE CONCEPT Bible Expeditions Demonstration Version is considered shareware. This means it is a working version of the program with minor exceptions. Those exceptions are the limited number of Bible books included and the word processor is limited in the number of lines it will let you use. Shareware is the term used to represent the "try before you buy" concept of marketing. This marketing strategy allows users to actually use the program before deciding if they'd like to purchase it. It also allows users to freely copy the program among friends (the demonstration version only). Responsibility comes into play since users who decide they intend to use the program are obligated by conscience and by Federal Law to pay for the program. Continued use without payment is illegal and is a sin against God. Please pay for the program if you intend to use it. INSTALLATION and SETUP ***Important*** Please Read Instructions BEFORE attempting Installation. A Hard Disk is Required. If you do not have a hard disk, BE cannot be used. 1) Insert Disk #1 into the A: drive. Type A:INSTALL <enter> Follow instructions of the installation program. 2) Following the Completion of the Installation program, type BE <enter> 3) From the Main Menu, type "B" to enter the Set Up area. SEND TEXT TO DISK DRIVE Y/N This option allows you to send text to files. SEND TEXT TO PRINTER Y/N This option allows you to send text to printer. TEXT IN VERSE FORMAT Y/N Verse format reads exactly like most printed King James Bibles. That is, each verse represents itself as its own individual paragraph. In non-verse format, the text would read as one large paragraph. Feel free to experiment to see which way you are most comfortable. RIGHT MARGIN 40 - 132 [60] This option sets your right margin within the word processor. LEFT MARGIN 1 - 20 [5] Sets your left margin within the word processor. MULTIPLE WORD SEARCH RANGE 10-1000 [400] If you are searching for Moses and Red Sea in the same paragraph, you can set the limit of characters present between Moses and Red Sea before BE will stop searching and display the two word combination. AUDIO INDICATOR Y/N This function controls the sound indicator when BE has located your requested text. HIGHLIGHTED COLOR This is the color of searched and found words and Border colors. Choose from the colors listed at the bottom of the Set Up screen. TEXT COLOR This option allows you to choose the color of regular text. Again, choose from the colors listed at the bottom of the Set Up screen. PATH FOR PROJECTS This is important. The path will be the directory into which you would like text files saved. You may bring in files from other directories by changing the path. Be sure to return BE to its original path when finished. To Leave the Set Up Area, simply hit your ESC key and your information will be automatically saved. BIBLE EXPEDITIONS MAIN MENU Bible Expedition is not intended to be a fast search concordance. Rather, BE is a powerful tool for the serious Bible student. Most often, a person knows the general area of the Bible they wish to search. TO SAVE TIME, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BE SELECTIVE IN THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU SEARCH. For instance, selecting ALL BOOKS to search for the name JESUS would be inefficient. Instead, select NEW TESTAMENT or better yet, narrow it down to a specific book or series of books. Fast Bible Search programs are a dime a dozen. Yet, once you have found the passage you desire, most programs are limited in the options you have with it. BE, although not the speed demon most other programs are, allows you to use Bible text more effectively. SELECTING BOOKS To select INDIVIDUAL BOOKS, simply use your arrow keys to the book or books desired and hit the ENTER key. This will place a number next to the book (s) desired. This is the order in which they will be searched. You may toggle selected books on and off of the desired search list in the same fashion. To select the OLD TESTAMENT, press "O". For the NEW TESTAMENT, press "N". For ALL BOOKS, press "A". SPELLING HELP FOR SEARCHING Bible Expedition contains a Word List of every word in the King James Bible. If you are searching with Whole Word option, BE will automatically check your word in the Word List to be sure it exists. If you have entered it incorrectly, BE will alert you with a message on the bottom left corner of the screen. To check that word or to check a word before searching, press the "S" key and type in a fragment of the word. BE will then offer a list of potential words. You may then select the highlighted word by hitting ENTER or use your arrow keys to select another word. Once you select a word, it is placed on the main menu and is ready to be searched. NOTE: The spelling help function requires at least 384K of system memory to operate. If there is not enough memory, pressing "S" from the main menu will have no effect. SEARCH TEXT To enter search text (words or phrases), press "T". At the bottom left of your screen you may enter up to 80 characters of text. The Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Left cursor keys move the cursor to the next word in the indicated direction. Ctrl-End deletes from the present cursor position to the end of the line. When you are satisfied with the, text press ENTER. MULTIPLE WORDS Press "M" for multiple word search. This option will search for words that are in a given range of each other. To set the range, select "B" and see the Multiple Word Search Range option. Press "C" to make your search Case Sensitive. Press "W" for Whole Words only. This will weed out unwanted words and PUNCTUATION. For example, a regular search of the word "other" will show all cases of "other" whether it is its own word or part of another word ("mother"). BEGIN SEARCH AND VIEW TEXT To BEGIN your search, press "V". This will begin the search and will send you into the Text Viewer if books are selected. BIBLE EXPEDITIONS TEXT VIEWER When BE has found your selected text, you will enter into the Text Viewer. You will now have many new options from which to choose. HELP is always available by pressing your "H" key. You will notice that by pressing your "H" key several times you will scroll through several help screens. MARGIN NOTES can be made by pressing your "C" key. Your notes will be attached directly to the verse reference your cursor is set upon and you can enter up to four lines of text. To leave the Margin Notes option, press ESC. You may attach Margin Notes to each and every verse in the Bible. NEXT OCCURRENCE. After BE has found your the first occurrence of your search word(s), you may either page-up or page-down to see the local text or continue to the next occurrence by pressing the SPACE BAR. To EXIT the Text Viewer, simply press "M" for Main Menu. NOTE: When multiple books have been selected for searching, you may use the "+" key to advance to the first occurrence in the next selected book. You may also use the "-" key to go to the first occurrence within the previous book selected. PROJECTS may be selected from the Text Viewer or the Main Menu by pressing the "P" key. BOOKMARKERS There are two methods for creating and viewing BOOKMARKERS. * Simple Method From the Text Viewer press "S" and select the book marker number you wish to use. * Power User Method You have 30 BOOKMARKERS per Project. By pressing your ALT key with a corresponding Function Key a book marker is set. For instance, pressing ALT-F1 will set your first marker. Your first 10 markers are set as above. From F11 to F20, press ALT & Shift & F1-F10. From F21 to F30, press ALT & CTRL & F1-F10. Bookmarkers are saved as part of Projects. VIEWING BOOKMARKERS From the MAIN MENU, press "L". From the TEXT VIEWER, press "L". From the PROJECTED EDITOR, press ESC and "L". A faster way to view BOOKMARKERS is to press the corresponding Function Key.

The bottom line of the screen will indicate which book marker you are viewing. To leave BOOKMARKERS and resume a search, press ESC.

BE will send your newly saved text to the end of the existing file or will create a new file by the name you have selected above. Your file will be created in the Path you have designated in the Set Up area. All Bible Text saved to a file will now go to this file until changed by you. HIGHLIGHT ON/OFF You may toggle Highlighted Text by using the "Q" key. This is useful when you have many occurrences within one screen of text. BIBLE EXPEDITIONS TEXT EDITOR The TEXT EDITOR is available from the Main Menu or the TEXT VIEWER by pressing your "E" key. Once activated, a File Selection Menu will appear. If there are no files created by BE or with a .TXT extension, your only option will be NEW-FILE. Hit ENTER and enter a file name. If other files exist, either select one of them or create a new file name. At all times in the TEXT EDITOR, you may see the Command Bar by selecting your ESC key. TEXT EDITOR OPTIONS IMPORT You many import specific verses, BE Files or other ASCII files. Verse: To import a verse into your text file, select the Verse option. Once done, BE will offer the list of Bible books. Move the highlight bar to the book you would like to import a verse from and select it by hitting ENTER. After selecting the book, you will be able to enter the chapter and verse. Your verse will be imported to the same place as your cursor sits in the text editor. File: BE will offer a list of BE-created .TXT files and an option for "-OTHER-". Selecting "-OTHER-" will give you the option of importing any other ASCII file from the current path. Simply enter the file name and extension you wish to import. NOTE: BE will not import file names with such extensions as .EXE, .COM, .SYS, etc. BE This will send you into the BE Setup area. FIND Find allows you to find a given word or phrase within your existing text file. SAVE To save your text, use this option. You will be presented with the file menu and there you can select a file name. Also, you may save portions of text to files by using the COPY feature (below). Portions of text saved to exising files will append that file and not overwrite it. GET To retrieve an old file or begin a new one, select GET. LIST This will allow you to view your bookmarkers and even select one for viewing. COPY This is a cut and paste feature. To select text to be copied, press SHIFT and ENTER at the same time where you'd like to mark the beginning of the text block. Now, move to the end of the block of text you'd like copied and repeat the procedure. Once done, move your cursor to the place at which you'd like the text copied. Press ESC and C (for Copy) and your text will be inserted there. DELETE This works the same as COPY but deletes the marked text block instead of copying it. PRINT If markers are set, text between markers will be printed. If no markers are set, the entire file is printed. All files are sent to LPT1.
