INTRODUCTION
Thank you for giving Scripture a try. We have made every
effort to create a Bible study program that is both powerful and
easy to use. We continue to improve the program, so new versions
of Scripture are produced periodically. By registering the
program you can be advised automatically of these changes.
Scripture is a window oriented Bible study program, which
uses the King James Version of the Bible for its text. All the
features of other Bible study programs used by most Bible stu-
dents are included, and many new features not found in other
programs (i.e. multiple Script windows, text editor, etc.) are
added. Yet the cost of Scripture is much less than any other
program in its class. Scripture was written by a Bible student
with the needs of the Bible student in mind. It is his sincere
hope that this program will encourage more Bible study and thus a
greater appreciation of God's will.
The user will find three windows (windows 1 to 3) called
Script Windows, which show passages from any available portion of
the Bible. Another window (window 4) is called the Editor Window
and implements a simple text processor for taking notes during
your study and for compiling topical references.
Several other windows pop up on command for changing verses,
searching for words, gathering statistics about words, and
getting a little help when it is needed. These windows disappear
automatically when they are not needed.
Many users find Scripture easy enough to use without reading
this documentation. If you like to learn a program in this way,
please feel free to do so. However, several features of the
program could be missed, if you never read the documentation. So
eventually you should return to this point and read the documen-
tation thoroughly.
Very little instructions are given automatically within the
program, but if SCRIPT.HLP is placed in the Overlay Directory
(see page 8), pressing <F1> will usually present enough help to
guide the user to his next step.
Your financial support of Scripture is important. The
amount of work placed into Scripture for future enhancements will
directly depend upon the support it receives from its users.
Many have told us they like the program, but relatively few have
followed through with registration. Please don't be one of
those! The next section will tell you how you can register
Scripture, and support its continuing development.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 1
REGISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Scripture, its associated files, and its documentation are
NOT in the public domain. All programs, data files, and documen-
tation included with Scripture are Copyright 1989, 1990 by Gil
Yoder, P.O. Box 307, Coalgate, OK 74538, U.S.A. Scripture is
distributed on a Shareware basis to allow you to "try before you
buy." Non-registered users of this software are granted a
limited license to copy these files for trial use on a private,
non-commercial basis, for the purpose of determining the suit-
ability of Scripture for their needs. At the end of a reasonable
trial period you should either register your copy or discontinue
its use.
All users (registered or otherwise) are granted a license to
copy the Scripture files for others to evaluate the program
subject to the above considerations, so long as NO fee is charged
for this service. Please encourage them to register their copy
if they find that they can use it. Vendor organizations may
distribute Scripture and charge a small service fee, if they
agree to comply with the guidelines set forth by the Association
of Shareware Professionals. However, ASP membership is not
required. (See VENDOR.DOC for details.)
Electronic bulletin board systems operators are encouraged
to place Scripture on their computers for downloading by their
users subject to conditions specified in VENDOR.DOC.
Definition of Shareware
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registra-
tion, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few
specific exceptions. Shareware authors are accomplished program-
mers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and
bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution.
The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
For example, some authors require written permission before a
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 2
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
Disclaimer - Agreement
Users of Scripture must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
Scripture is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warran-
ties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The
author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
which may result from the use of Scripture.
Resolving Problems through ASP
Scripture is written and supported by Gil Yoder, a member of
the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to
make sure that the Shareware principle works for you. If you are
unable to resolve a Shareware-related problem with an ASP member
by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The
ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an
ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
products.
Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Belle-
vue, WA 98006 or send a CompuServe message via Easyplex to ASP
Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Registration Benefits
Registration provides the user with the following benefits:
1. Complete Scripture system containing files for the entire
King James Version of the Bible (currently five 360k disks)
and a license to use the program on all computers available
to you. This license also allows members of your immediate
family (those living with you in your own home) to use the
program in your home. If others are to have access to the
program (such as in a school or church), you should purchase
a site license.
2. Telephone and Email (via CompuServe) support from the au-
thor.
3. Automatic notification of significant changes, updates and
additions to Scripture.
4. Substantial discounts on new releases of Scripture. Please
note: There is no advantage in waiting for a new update to
be released before registering Scripture. Beside the fact
that you should register Shareware that you use, Scripture
updates are very reasonably priced, and future releases of
Scripture will quite likely see an increase in the registra-
tion price.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 3
All current copies of Scripture are fully functional, but
you may not have received all the Scripture files. You should be
able to determine the value of Scripture without the complete set
of files, but if you think you need the full system to make an
informed decision, you can find the remaining files on BBS's,
from friends, or you may order extra disks from the author.
Registration, however is still required if you intend to use the
program for purposes other than evaluation.

Scripture Version 2.12 Page 5
INSTALLING SCRIPTURE
Scripture must be properly installed before the program is
used. This is done in two main steps: (1) Placing the program on
the your hard drive, and (2) using SINSTALL.EXE to set your
defaults. These two main steps are broken down into other steps
as definined next.
Making a Working Copy: First main step
Before the program can be used you must first place Scrip-
ture and its data files on the drive from which you wish to run
Scripture. Usually this will be a hard drive. (You can run a
part of Scripture from high density drives, but this is not
recommended.) The easiest way to do this is to use the batch
file, START.BAT, that is provided in some distributions of
Scripture. START.BAT has been recently added to distributions
that are sent to disk vendors; it will not be included in distri-
butions sent to bulletin boards, because it would have to be
placed within an archive, defeating its purpose.
If you have START.BAT, use it to extract the necessary files
from each Scripture archive. Otherwise skip to Self-Starting.
Using START.BAT
START.BAT assumes that you are installing Scripture for the
first time. By default it creates a directory named \HOLYWRIT on
drive C, and then extracts files from the archives on drive A
into C:\HOLYWRIT. If this is satisfactory, place disk 1 of 5 in
drive A, and issue the following commands:
A: (This will make drive A the current directory.)
START (This will cause START.BAT to begin.)
Follow the instructions presented by START.BAT to complete the
process.
If you prefer to have START.BAT load files from a different
floppy drive, or to have it load files to a different drive or
directory, you can alter the way START.BAT works by specifying
certain parameters. START.BAT will accept up to three parameters
in the following order and with the following meaning: (1) a
single letter specifying the drive where START can find LHARC.EXE
and the archives from which it needs to extract; (2) a single
letter specifying the drive where START should create the new
directory (the source and destination drives must be unique); and
(3) the pathname for the new directory excluding any drive
designator. You need not specify all three parameters, but any
parameter you do specify must be used in its proper place. You
can use the letter "Z" as a place holder if you need to keep the
default for a parameter that precedes a parameter you want to
change.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 6
A few examples may help to explain:
B>START B
Creates C:\HOLYWRIT and loads files from drive B into that
directory.
C>START C
WRONG! The source and destination drives must be unique. (This
command tells START.BAT to use drive C as the source. Since the
default destination is also drive C, this command would tell
START.BAT that the source and destination drives were the same.)
C>START C D
RIGHT. Creates D:\HOLYWRIT and loads files from the current
directory of drive C into the proper directory on drive D.
A>START Z Z \BIBLE
Creates C:\BIBLE and loads files from drive A into that directo-
ry.
A>START Z Z \BIBLE\KJV
Creates \KJV as a subdirectory to C:\BIBLE (C:\BIBLE must already
exist), and loads files from drive A into C:\BIBLE\KJV.
START.BAT will prompt you to change disks as necessary.
When START.BAT is done, Scripture will be properly loaded, and
you will be ready to run SINSTALL.EXE to complete the installa-
tion.
Self-Starting
Loading the Scripture files without using START.BAT is a
little more is involved, but the process is not difficult. To
save space Scripture is distributed in a compressed/archive
format. To make extraction easy we distribute the program in
self-extracting archives.
To self-start Scripture you must basically follow the same
steps that START.BAT would follow automatically. These steps are
(1) create a directory into which Scripture's files will be
placed, (2) log into that directory to make it the current
directory, and (3) for each self-extracting archive type the
command to extract the files from that archive. An example set
of commands and comments follow:
C>MD \BIBLE Create a new directory called "\BIBLE"
on drive C.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 7
C>CD \BIBLE Log into C:\BIBLE. At this point you
should place one of disks containing
Scripture in drive A.
C:\BIBLE>DIR A:*.EXE Check the directory of the disk in drive
A for any self extracting archive.
C:\BIBLE>A:SCRIPT1 Extract files from the self-extracting
archive named SCRIPT1.EXE. A similar
command would be issued for each self-
extracting archive.
Once you have issued the last command for each of the self-
extracting archives provided, you will be ready to run
SINSTALL.EXE.
Installation Directory Options
If you wish, may place SCRIPT.EXE, the main program file,
and its data files is separate directories. For example you may
wish to have SCRIPT.EXE in C:/APPS and put the other files in
C:/APPS/DATA. For purposes of this discussion we call the
directory that contains Scriptures data files the Overlay Direc-
tory.
The Overlay Directory is the directory in which Scripture
finds SCRIPT.OVR, the Scripture overlay file. In order for
Scripture to find SCRIPT.OVR, Scripture looks first in the
current directory, then in the directory from which SCRIPT.EXE
was run (under DOS 3.0 or higher only), and then all the directo-
ries in the DOS path. If SCRIPT.OVR cannot be found, the program
will stop with an error message.
Except for SCRIPT.EXE and SINSTALL.EXE all files used by
Scripture should be in the same directory. SCRIPT.EXE may be in
any directory, but we suggest placing it in the DOS path.
Using SINSTALL.EXE: Second Main Step
SINSTALL.EXE is provided for modifying defaults contained
within SCRIPT.EXE. Window color and sized may be modified.
Bible book name abbreviations may be changed. The verses which
are loaded by default at the beginning of a program run can be
changed. Finally, the default editor format parameters can be
modified. Running SINSTALL is fairly simple. SINSTALL.EXE and
SCRIPT.EXE must be in the same directory and that directory must
be the default directory. Run the program by typing SINSTALL.
The program will run and present a menu. Select commands from
the menu to access the different features of the program.
To use SINSTALL log in the directory where SCRIPT.EXE may be
found. If you have renamed the program, rename it to SCRIPT.EXE;
SINSTALL must find SCRIPT.EXE in the default directory.
When you run SINSTALL the menu given in figure 1 will be
presented.

verses with a single line between each verse. Press 8, 9 or 0 to
modify the mode for windows 1, 2 or 3 respectively.
Editor/Printer Format Parameters
To modify the editor/printer format parameters press 3 from
the main menu. A screen similar to the window presented with the
<Ctrl-O><F> command in Scripture's editor will appear. Follow
the instructions given in the program to modify any parameter.
Change Book Abbreviations
Book abbreviations are used in the references inserted into
your editor text. You may decide that you would rather have full
book names or different abbreviations. Use 4 from the main menu
to change any of these abbreviations. Then follow the instruc-
tions given to change any abbreviation.
Move and Modify Windows
The Script Windows and the Editor Window can be moved and
resized with option number 5 from the main menu. Moving and
resizing operations are similar to the same operations within
Scripture, but there are some differences.
Full instructions for changing the windows are first pre-
sented before any of the windows are shown. You access the
window to change by pressing 1 to 4. A summary of commands to
issue are then shown in the current window. Be careful to read
the full instructions before accessing a window, since the window
you access may cover them.
43/50 Line Mode Toggle
If you have an EGA or a VGA monitor, you will have option
number 6 to modify the number of lines that are displayed by
Scripture by default. Option number 6 will be disabled for MDA,
MGA and CGA monitors. If you do have an EGA or a VGA monitor,
option 6 will toggle and display the current state on line number
6. To see how the change will effect the appearance of Scripture
access option number 5.
Note: if the current state is greater than 25 lines, and any
of the windows have been moved below line 25, you will not be
able to toggle back to 25 line mode until you move all windows
back above line 26.
Restoring Old Defaults
If you make a change and later change your mind, there are
several ways to get the old default(s) back. For single changes
you can normally press <Esc> from any of the screens to get the
old default(s) back. Changes made from that screen will usually
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 11
be lost. Pressing <Esc> repeatedly will cause each successive
screen to be erased until eventually you will be back at the DOS
prompt. (However, you MUST press <Enter> to leave option 1.)
You can also use option number 8 from the main menu to over
load any changes with the current defaults in SCRIPT.EXE.
Accepting Changes
When you have made a change (or changes) you want to keep,
press the <Enter> key. Pressing <Enter> repeatedly will cause
changes in the current screen to be recorded and will eventually
save the changes to SCRIPT.EXE and put you back at the DOS
prompt.
You can also use option number 9 from the main menu to place
any changes you have made in SCRIPT.EXE. Any defaults differing
from those values changed using SINSTALL will then be lost.
Using SINSTALL to modify SCRIPT.EXE is really much more
simple than it may appear from reading this text. Just run the
program and follow the instructions given at every point within
the program. It should become apparent how the program works by
using it only for a few minutes.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 12
RUNNING SCRIPTURE
You will find that running Scripture is easy, but there are
a few observations to make. First, DOS must be able to open 20
files. Check your CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of your
boot drive to see if it has a line that says, "FILES=20". You
might also wish to specify "BUFFERS=30" as well; this will speed
some disk access, but is not essential.
Second, you must assure that you have sufficient data files
in the Overlay Directory (see page 8). Scripture expects to find
at a minimum the following files in the Overlay Directory:
SCRIPT.OVR, SCRIPT.AWL, SCRIPT.WMP, SCRIPT.BCV, and a least one
of the following groups of files: SCRIPT.PL1, SCRIPT.VL1, and
SCRIPT.WF1, or SCRIPT.PL2, SCRIPT.VL2, and SCRIPT.WF2, or
SCRIPT.PL3, SCRIPT.VL3, and SCRIPT.WF3, or SCRIPT.PL4,
SCRIPT.VL4, and SCRIPT.WF4, or SCRIPT.PL5, SCRIPT.VL5, and
SCRIPT.WF5. If you have followed the instructions given under
"Installing Scripture" (page 6) the proper files should be in the
proper location.
Two files are optional: SCRIPT.AIX will help Scripture
initialize faster, and SCRIPT.HLP provides on-line help within
Scripture. For them to be of use, they must also be in the
Overlay Directory. See page 34 for more information about
Scripture's files.
There are basically three ways to run Scripture:
SCRIPT Window #1 will open by default from the Title
Screen.
SCRIPT FOO.TXT The Editor Window will open by default from the
Title Screen. FOO.TXT will be loaded into the
editor.
SCRIPT *.* The Editor Window will open by default from the
Title Screen. A list of all files matching "*.*"
will be displayed for selection by the user. Any
ambiguous filename specification is accepted.
When the Title Screen is displayed (at the beginning of the
program run), it is possible to cause execution of the program to
begin within any of the Script Windows or the Editor Window. Use
the following keys:
<1> Script Window number 1
<2> Script Window number 2
<3> Script Window number 3
<4> Editor Window
A detailed explanation of Script Windows and the Editor
Window follows.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 13
SCRIPT WINDOWS
Script Windows are used to view text. There are three
Script Windows numbered one to three. The first Script Window
normally opens automatically when the program is first loaded
(i.e. when you run Scripture without specifying a filename). You
can force Scripture to start with the second or third Script
Windows by pressing the number 2 or 3 from the title screen.
From within the Editor Window the Script Windows can be re-
accessed by pressing <Alt-S>.
Several commands are available from within the Script
Windows, most of which are listed below. Other commands avail-
able in the Script Windows are found on page 28.
Verse Reference Control
The following commands control the verses which are seen
from within the Script Windows
<Up> Previous verse. If the verse printed at the top
of the top of the window is a complete verse, the
verse immediately preceding it will be shown.
Otherwise the top verse will be completely shown.
<Dn> Next verse. If the verse at the bottom of the
window is a complete verse, the next verse will be
shown. Otherwise the bottom verse will be com-
pletely shown.
<Pgup> Previous chapter. If the first verse of the cur-
rent chapter is at the top of the window, the
first verse of the previous chapter will be shown.
Otherwise the first verse of the current chapter
will be shown.
<Pgdn> Next chapter. The first verse of the next chapter
will be shown.
<Ctrl-Pgup> Previous book. If the first verse of the current
book is at the top of the window, the first verse
of the previous book will be shown. Otherwise the
first verse of the current book will be shown.
<Ctrl-Pgdn> Next book. The first verse of the next book will
be shown.
<Home> First book verse. The first verse of the current
book will be shown.
<End> Last book verse. The last verse of the current
book will be shown.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 14
<Spcbar> Single line down. Single Line Scrolling refers to
the display of biblical text in the three Script
Windows one line at a time. This function is
available anytime the current Script Window is
full of text. Each time the <Spcbar> is pressed a
new line is displayed. When any other key is
depressed (except <F1>), the remainder of the
current verse is displayed and Single Line Scroll-
ing is discontinued.
<Alt-D> Toggle double space mode. When double space mode
is on the last line of each verse is double
spaced, placing a single blank line between vers-
es. Sometimes this makes reading text a little
easier.
Bookmarks Commands
Bookmarks are files (normally with a BMK extension) that
hold your place in the Script Windows. In these files are data
for each Script Window detailing verses to reload into the Script
Windows at a later time.
Creating a bookmark: From within any Script Window pressing
<F6> opens a window that requests from the student a filename for
the bookmark. The student may specify his own filename or accept
the default by pressing <Enter>. Pressing <Enter> causes the
file to be written.
Accessing a bookmark: Pressing <Shift-F6> from within a
Script Window causes a directory window to open asking for a
filename, displaying all *.BMK files. The student may choose any
of the files displayed, or he may press <Esc> and specify his own
filename including ambiguous wild cards (* and ?) in the file-
name. If wild cards are included, matching files will be dis-
played from which he can select, otherwise the file matching the
filename he typed will be accessed. Accessing a file causes
Scripture to read the file and load the three Script Windows with
the verses specified in the file. The verse for each window will
not be shown in any of the windows until that window itself is
accessed.
A special bookmark exists called SCRIPT.BMK. If Scripture
finds this bookmark file in the Overlay Directory when the
program first runs, it will automatically read that file and load
the Script Windows with the specified verses, which will be
displayed when the windows are first opened.
Summary:
<F6> Set a bookmark.
<Shift-F6> Retrieve a bookmark.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 15
Window Exiting Commands
Moving to other windows: Multiple Script Windows would be of
little value, if there were no means to access them. Scripture
provides the following commands to access the main Scripture
windows.
<1>, <2>, <3>, <4> Move to new window. The specified window
will become active. If the window is cur-
rently hidden, it will open. The first three
commands access the three Script Windows.
The fourth accessed the Editor Window.
Several specialized commands that work in Script Windows and
the Editor Window for sending verses to windows and for accessing
them, and a command for closing these windows are given on page
28.
Because the following command works only in the Script
Windows it is given here. It is explained in more detail on page
28.
<Alt-4> Send verse to and if necessary, open the
Editor Window.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 16
THE EDITOR WINDOW
The Editor Window is designed for taking notes during Bible
study and building topical references. Its main purpose is to
provide a means by which scripture passages may be easily added
to your text files. Limited, yet useful, formatting and printing
facilities are provided.
Editor Status Line
At the top of the Editor window is the Status Line. Dis-
played in this line is the following information:
Filename.Ext The filename of the current text file.
Line ### The line number in which the cursor may be found
in the file.
Col ### The column number in which the cursor may be found
from the left margin.
Wrap ### If this is seen, it indicates that word wrap mode
is on and the column in which word wrapping will
occur.
Insert Indicates that insert mode is active.
Indent Indicates that indent mode is active.
Altered Indicates that changes have been made to the docu-
ment after loading it, or after saving it.
###% Indicates the percentage of 64K (approx.) being
used in the edit buffer. An empty buffer indi-
cates 0%.
##:## xm The time of the last keystroke in the Editor Win-
dow. The time display is updated only when the
Editor Window is active and keystrokes are being
processed.
Modify the modes mentioned above within the Format Parame-
ters window (see page 24) or with the commands listed on page 20.
Several commands are available from within the Editor
Window, most of which are listed below. Other commands available
in the Editor Window are found on page 28.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 17
Cursor Movement
We have striven to use cursor control keys that are common
to the majority of word processors and text editors. The follow-
ing commands control the position of the cursor:
<Lft>, <Ctrl-S> Cursor left one character.
<Rgt>, <Ctrl-D> Cursor right one character.
<Ctrl-Lft>, <Ctrl-A> Cursor left one word. A "word" is
a series of non-blank characters
followed by one or more blanks.
<Ctrl-Rgt>, <Ctrl-F> Cursor right one word.
<Home>, <Ctrl-Q><S> Cursor to beginning of line.
<End>, <Ctrl-Q><D> Cursor to end of line.
<Up>, <Ctrl-E> Cursor up one line.
<Dn>, <Ctrl-X> Cursor down one line.
<Ctrl-Home>, <Ctrl-Q><E> Cursor to top of Editor Window.
<Ctrl-End>, <Ctrl-Q><X> Cursor to bottom of Editor Window.
<Ctrl-PgUp>, <Ctrl-Q><R> Cursor to beginning of file.
<Ctrl-PgDn>, <Ctrl-Q><C> Cursor to end of file.
<Tab>, <Ctrl-I> Cursor to next tab stop.
Searching for Text
<Ctrl-Q><F> Initiate a search. Scripture will ask you to
input up to 20 characters to find, and then will
give you a chance to change the nature of the
search. If "global" is set to yes, this search
will begin with the first character of the docu-
ment. Otherwise it will begin with the character
following the current cursor position. If "case
sensitive" is set to yes, then the case of the
search characters is important. Otherwise case is
ignored. Press "G" to toggle global, "C" to tog-
gle case.
<Ctrl-Q><A> Search and replace. You will be asked to input a
search string. You can specify up to 20 charac-
ters to search for, or you can accept the current
string if any. Next you will be asked to input a
string to replace the search string. You can
specify up to 20 characters for the replacement
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 18
string. Finally you will be asked to make any
changes to the search criteria you need. You can
accept the current settings or change them if you
desire. At any time during this process you can
press the <Esc> key to abort the search and re-
place procedure.
If you continue the procedure the first occurrence
of the search string will be found and you will be
asked if you wish to change the string with the
replacement string. Press <Y> to replace the
string, <N> not to replace the string, or <A> to
replace the string and to replace all the follow-
ing matching strings.
<Ctrl-L> Continue a search. This command takes the charac-
ters entered with the above commands, and the
"case sensitive" switch also described above, and
continues the search (or search and replace) from
the current cursor position. Note that "global"
has no effect on this command.
Block Commands
<Ctrl-K><M> Mark block.
The block commands in Scripture are line oriented, rather
than character oriented. This means that only complete lines can
be within a block.
To mark a block place the cursor on either the first line of
the block or on the last line of the block and press <Ctrl-K><M>.
This will mark that line. Then place the cursor on the other
border for the block and press <Ctrl-K><M>. Now the top and
bottom lines and all lines between will be marked.
Depending upon where the cursor is placed, and upon the
number of lines already marked, pressing <Ctrl-K><M> will have
the following effects:
1. Cursor within a block containing multiple lines: pressing
<Ctrl-K><M> will cause the current line only to be marked.
2. Cursor within a block containing a single line: pressing
<Ctrl-K><M> will cause the block to become unmarked.
3. Cursor outside a marked block: pressing <Ctrl-K><M> will
cause the block to expand to include the current line.
Once a block is marked the following commands will operate
on the block:
<Ctrl-K><C> Copy block to cursor location. The block will be
placed prior to the current line, and the current
line and all following lines will be pushed down.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 19
<Ctrl-K><V> Move block to cursor location.
<Ctrl-K><Y> Delete the block. Use with caution! There is no
"undo" command for blocks.
Window Scrolling Commands
The following commands cause the text to scroll in the
window:
<Ctrl-W> Scroll display up one line.
<Ctrl-Z> Scroll display down one line.
<PgUp>, <Ctrl-R> Scroll display up one page.
<PgDn>, <Ctrl-C> Scroll display down one page.
Think of <PgUp> and <PgDn> display control keys. Pressing
<PgUp> caused the display to "move up" on the text. If you have
used word processors before, this will not be difficult, but new
computer users have often felt that <PgUp> should cause the text
to move up, rather than down. Thinking of these keys (and the
cursor key counter parts) as display controls rather than text
controls helps to keep things straight.
Mode Control
The following commands allow the user to modify the opera-
tional modes of the editor:
<Ins> Toggle insert mode on and off.
<Ctrl-O><W> Toggle word wrap on and off. When word wrap is
on, any attempt to insert or append text beyond
the right margin will cause a new line to be in-
serted, and the word currently being entered to be
moved to the new line.
<Ctrl-O><I> Toggle auto-indent mode. In auto-indent mode,
pressing <Enter> in insert mode causes the new
line to have the same indentation as the previous
line. Auto-indent also affects the way that text
is formatted when word wrap occurs.
<Ctrl-O><F> Open Format Parameters window. This window allows
the user to change editor modes all at once using
a field input method. See page 24 for instruc-
tions concerning this window.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 20
Deleting Text
The following commands allow for the deletion of text. Use
these commands with caution.
<Del>, <Ctrl-G> Delete the character at the cursor.
<Bksp>, <Ctrl-H>, <Ctrl-Bksp> Delete the character to the left of
the cursor.
<Ctrl-Y> Delete the current line.
<Ctrl-Q><Y> Delete from the cursor to the end
of the line.
<Ctrl-T> Delete the word to the right of the
cursor.
You can also delete an entire block of text (see page 20).
Reformatting Text
When you type, Scripture tries to keep the text you type
within the proper margins (if you have word wrap mode turned on).
However when you insert characters or delete characters the
margins can become skewed. Reformatting commands are provided
for this possibility. You might also decide after typing some
text to change the margins. You can do this by setting the
margins in the Format Parameters window (page 24), and then
reformat the old text with these commands:
<Ctrl-B> Reformat the current paragraph.
<Alt-R> Reformat the entire file. Use this command with
caution.
Exiting and File Commands
The following commands are provided to manipulate files and
to exit the window.
<Ctrl-K><F> Rename file. This command will display a field
into which a new filename may be entered. An
ambiguous filename may be entered to view the
directory, from which a filename may be selected
using the cursor keys.
<Ctrl-K><S> Save file.
<Ctrl-K><R> Read a new file. Similar to <Ctrl-K><F> except
that a file is loaded into the editor buffer.
<Ctrl-K><X> Save file and exit to DOS.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 21
<Alt-S> Exit to recent Script Window. The Editor Window
will still be displayed.
Other exiting commands are listed below, because they work
in both Editor and Script Windows (see page 28).
Verse Insertion Commands
Verse insertion is the main reason for Scripture's editor.
Using these keys you can load verses into your documents without
typing, or worrying about "getting it right." The following keys
are available for verse insertion:
<F3> Insert current verse at cursor
<F4> Insert verse reference at cursor
<Alt-C> Insert chapter at cursor. This key actually inserts
from the current verse to the end of the current chap-
ter. To insert a complete chapter, position the cur-
rent verse to the first verse of the chapter desired,
and use this key.
<Ctrl-J> Change verse to insert next
To insert a verse in your text press <F3>. The current
verse will be inserted at the current cursor location. (The
current verse may be redefined within the Editor Window by
pressing <Ctrl-J> and setting the verse properly.)
Pressing <F4> before inserting any verses causes a reference
to the current Editor verse to be inserted. After inserting one
or more contiguous verses, pressing <F4> will cause a reference
to those verses to be inserted at the cursor location. After
pressing <F4> once, the affect of <F4> will change to reference
the current Editor verse.
An advanced feature of Scripture allows the insertion of
topic lists. This is accomplished with the topic compilation
commands.
Topic Compilation
If a word search is implemented from within the Editor
Window and a verse is found, the status line will display a
reference to the verse. At this point four keys are recognized:
<Esc> Returns control to the Editor Window to allow editing,
etc.
<F4> Insert all references that match the search criterion
starting with the displayed reference.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 22
<F7> Insert reference and text for the current verse and
automatically find the next reference.
<F8> Insert all references and text that match the search
criterion starting with the displayed reference.
Note that the last three commands have been chosen to correspond
to keys used at other times. <F4> is normally used to insert a
verse reference. <F7> is normally used to enter the search
window. <F8> is normally used to continue a search.
For the last two commands above we recommend that the
following format parameters be set in the following manner (see
page 24):
Add References Off
Verse Insertion Mode Single line indent
While verses or references are being added to the text (<F4>
and <F8> commands), pressing any key causes the process to stop
and allows the student to restart or return to Editor control.
Printing the Buffer
You can print the text in the editor buffer any time you are
in the Editor Window by pressing the <F2> key. Scripture will
ask you to prepare the printer and press <Enter>. If at this
time you press <Esc> the process will be aborted.
You can control the appearance of the printed text by
modifying the Printer Parameters within the Format Parameters
screen. See page 24.
Miscellaneous Commands
These commands are also available in the Editor Window:
<Enter>, <Ctrl-M> Start a new line.
<Ctrl-P> Insert control character. To insert a Ctrl-
G, you would enter <Ctrl-P><Ctrl-G>.
<Ctrl-Q><L> Restore original contents of the line and
continue editing. The command restores a
line that has been changed only if the cursor
has not moved off the line since the changes
were made.
<Alt-Z> Zoom window.
Many times when editing text you want to be able to see the
Script Windows and the verse data within them. This means that
the Editor Window must be smaller than the full size of the
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 23
screen. This is the way the default version of Scripture is
distributed. On the other hand sometimes when editing text you
may want to have the full screen filled with the Editor Window.
The zoom command toggles between the two states.
To issue the zoom command press <Alt-Z> within the Editor
Window. If the window is smaller than the full screen, the
<Alt-Z> will force the window to take up the full size of the
screen. The next time you issue the zoom command (unless you
have changed the size of the window and made it smaller than the
full screen), the window will be reduced to its original size.
FORMAT PARAMETERS WINDOW
The Format Parameters Screen is used to change certain
parameters used by the editor, and pops up from the Editor Window
when the <Ctrl-O><F> keys are pressed. There are three general
kinds of parameters displayed on this screen:
(1) Editor Parameters
(2) Verse Insertion Parameters
(3) Printer Parameters
Under each kind are several fields. To move among the
fields simply use the arrow keys.
Editor Parameters
These parameters affect the way editing appears, which in
turn affects the way the finished file will appear. These
parameters are available for modification by the user:
Insert Mode This field toggles insert mode on or off. To
toggle this field press the grey plus key. You
may also use <Ins> from within the Editor Window.
Indent Mode This field toggles indent mode on or off. When
indent mode is on, pressing <Enter> while insert
mode is on will cause the new line inserted to
have the same indentation level as the previous
line. Indent mode also affects the way that text
is formatted when word wrap occurs, and hence the
behavior of the reformatting commands, <Ctrl-B>
and <Alt-R>. The best way to learn how to use
these features is to experiment. To toggle this
field press the grey plus key. You may also use
<Ctrl-O><I> from within the Editor Window.
Word Wrap Mode This field toggles word wrap on or off. When word
wrap is on, any attempt to insert or append text
beyond the right margin will cause a new line to
be inserted following the current line and all
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 24
words that are at least partially beyond the right
margin to be moved to the new line. To toggle
this field press the grey plus key. You may also
use <Ctrl-O><W> from within the Editor Window.
Right Margin The right margin value determines where word wrap
will occur if word wrap is on. To set this field
simply enter the new value. Valid entries range
from 0 to 99. However the lowest values are not
of much use. Numbers are entered calculator style
(see page 27).
Fixed Tab Size The fixed tab size value determines where tab
stops are placed. To set this field simply enter
the new value. Valid entries range from 1 to 99.
Numbers are entered calculator style (see page
27).
Paragraph This value is used to define the kind of para-
graphs the program will recognize. "Indent" means
that paragraphs begin either with a line following
a blank line or with an indented line. "Line
only" means that paragraphs begin with a line
following a blank line (indentation does not indi-
cate a new paragraph). To toggle this field press
the grey plus key.
Verse Insertion Parameters
These parameters affect the way verses are inserted with the
<F3> key and with the topic compilation keys. These parameters
are available for modification by the user:
Add References
"Add references" is a toggle that determines if the program
will include the verse number of the verse inserted with the <F3>
key. To toggle this field press the grey plus key.
Verse Insertion Mode
There are four verse insertion modes available which may be
changed from within the Format Parameters Screen:
Double space This mode forces two carriage returns at the
end of a verse (in order to separate new
verses with a single line).
Single space This mode forces a single carriage return at
the end of a verse (in order to make new
verses begin on a new line).
Single space indent This mode is similar to the "single space"
mode with the exception that verses are in-
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 25
dented one space before text is inserted
(note that indentation begins at the current
cursor position).
String verses This mode forces no carriage return at the
end of the verse. This allows verses to be
strung together in a paragraph.
To step through these modes in the Format Parameters Screen
use the grey plus key.
Printer Parameters
These parameters affect the way output to the printer (with
the <F2> key) appears. These parameters are available for
modification by the user:
Page Length
This value affects the appearance of printed text by defin-
ing the length of a page in lines. For example an 11 inch page
with 6 lines/inch has 66 lines. Valid entries range from 1 to
99. Laser printers normally have only 60 lines available.
Printers that use continuous forms normally have 66 lines avail-
able. Numbers are entered calculator style (see page 27).
Top Line
This value defines the first line to receive text on the
page. For example to have the page begin with six blank lines
set this value to seven. Numbers are entered calculator style
(see page 27).
Bottom Line
This value defines the last line to receive text on the
page. For example to have the page end with six blank lines, if
the page has 66 lines total, set this value to 60. Numbers are
entered calculator style (see page 27).
Left Margin Offset
This value defines the number of blank columns to add to the
beginning of each line to provide for a left margin. In 10 pitch
use a value of 10 for a one inch margin. (Some printers provide
a small margin by default. For these printers adjust this value
accordingly for the proper left margin.) Numbers are entered
calculator style (see page 27).
Use Form Feed
This field determines if the program will use a form feed at
the end of a page to go to the next top of form, or if it will
use line feeds. Form feeds are usually quieter and faster, but
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 26
line feeds offer a little more flexibility. To toggle this field
between "yes" and "no" use the grey plus key.
Pause at Page Break
This value determines if the program will stop at the end of
each page and wait for the user to press a key to confirm print-
ing of the next page. A value of "yes" allows the user to use
single sheets of paper in his printer instead of form feed paper.
To toggle this field between "yes" and "no" use the grey plus
key.
Initialization
This field defines a sequence of values to be sent to the
printer immediately before sending the first page of text. The
first number in the field (to the right of the dash) defines the
number of bytes in the sequence. If this number is greater than
zero, the correct number of values will be displayed in the next
two lines on the screen. The maximum number of bytes in the
sequence is 20 and should be entered as a decimal number. The
values to be sent to the printer may range from 00 to FF and
should be entered as hexadecimal numbers. All numbers in this
field are entered calculator style.
Deinitialization
This field defines a sequence of values to be sent to the
printer immediately after sending the last page of text. The
first number in the field (to the right of the dash) defines the
number of bytes in the sequence. If this number is greater than
zero, the correct number of values will be displayed in the next
two lines on the screen. The maximum number of bytes in the
sequence is 20 and should be entered as a decimal number. The
values to be sent to the printer may range from 00 to FF and
should be entered as hexadecimal numbers. All numbers in this
field are entered calculator style (see below). If you wish to
have Scripture send a form feed at the end of each print job,
place a 1 in the first space, and 0C in the second.
CALCULATOR STYLE ENTRY
Calculator Style Entry refers to a method of numerical entry
that is similar to the use of a calculator. Digits are always
inserted at the end of a number, pushing previously entered
digits to the left. If a digit is the first key pressed after
entering the field, the old number is cleared. The <Bksp> key
may be used to delete the last digit of the number.

COMMANDS AVAILABLE IN BOTH EDITOR AND SCRIPT WINDOWS
Some commands because of their nature are available in both
kinds of the major windows (Editor and Script). These are those
commands:
Change Verse Command
<Ctrl-J> This command opens a new window on the screen to
allow the user to specify a new verse to send to
the current window. See page 30 for more details.
Exiting Commands
The major windows may be exited in a variety of ways. The
following commands are used:
<Esc> Hide window. This command hides the current win-
dow. If that window is the last window on the
screen, the program will ask the user if he wishes
to exit the program.
<Ctrl-K><Q> Quit. As the name implies this command will cause
the program to quit and return to DOS.
If the user requests to exit the program and text has been
altered using the editor, the program will ask if the user wishes
to save the text before he exits.
<Alt-1>, <Alt-2>, <Alt-3>, <Alt-4> Move verse to new window.
The move verse commands (<Alt-1>, <Alt-2>, <Alt-3>, and
<Alt-4>) cause new windows (either Editor or Script) to open and
automatically assign a new verse to the new window.
The verse assigned to the new window depends both upon the
kind of the old window and the kind of the new window:
Script Window to Script Window The new window will be
assigned the verse following
the last completely displayed
verse in the old window.
Script Window to Editor Window The Editor Window will be
assigned the verse displayed
at the top of the old Script
Window.
Editor Window to Script Window The new Script Window will be
assigned the current verse of
the Editor Window.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 28
Word Searches
To help the user find specific verses the following commands
are given:
<F7> Pop Up Words Window. This window allows selection of words
and other criteria to perform a search. See page 31 for
details.
<F8> Search next. Based upon the criteria entered using the <F7>
command this command tries to find the next verse following
the last verse displayed in a Script Window or the current
verse of the Editor Window.
Miscellaneous Commands
<Scroll Lock> Window Sizing/Moving (see below).
<Alt-F10> Toggle 43/50 line mode (requires EGA/VGA).
MOVING/SIZING WINDOWS
The three Script Windows and the Editor Window can be easily
modified by the program user in size and screen location.
To move a window turn <Scroll Lock> on and <Num Lock> off.
The following keys will have the following functions:
<Up>, <Dn> Single row movements
<Lft>, <Rgt> Single column movements
<PgUp>, <PgDn> Quick vertical movements
<Ctrl-Lft>, <Ctrl-Rgt> Quick horizontal movements
To change the size of a window turn <Scroll Lock> on and
turn <Num Lock> on. In this situation the following keys have
the following functions:
<8> Decrease window by one row.
<2> Increase window by one row.
<4> Decrease window by one column.
<6> Increase window by one column.
In addition to the commands listed above the following
commands are still available while <Scroll Lock> is turned on:
<Esc> Hide current window.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 29
<1>,<2>, Move to window 1, 2, 3, or 4 (Script Windows on-
<3>,<4> ly).
<Alt-S> Exit editor to last Script Window
<Ctrl-K><Q> Exit program
CHANGE VERSE WINDOW
Verses may be specified for loading with the Change Verse
Window. This window pops up from any of the Script Windows or
from the Editor Window by pressing <Ctrl-J>.
There are three fields in the Change Verse Window: (1) the
book field, (2) the chapter field, and (3) the verse field. You
can move between the fields with the arrow keys. Additionally
when you are in the chapter field, ":" (the colon key) will move
you to the verse field. The <space bar> key may also be used to
move among the fields (except as noted below).
Once the book, chapter and verse are selected you can press
<Enter> to accept your changes. If you called the Change Verse
Window from a Script Window, the new verse will be loaded in the
current window. Otherwise the verse will be ready for insertion
in the Editor Window with the <F3> key (see page 22).
If you change your mind and decide not to change the verse,
you may abort the change by pressing the <Esc> key.
Book Field
The book field is used to enter the desired book to load.
You can do this by typing the first few characters of the book's
name; the full name of the book will be filled in by the program.
(When typing in the name of a book, if you press the <space bar>
in a place where it makes sense in the book's name, it will be
accepted. Otherwise <space bar> will move the cursor to the
chapter field.) If you wish you may call up a list of book names
by pressing the large gray plus key on the number pad. A window
of book names will pop up from which you may select a book with
the arrow keys.
The book list window is used to select a biblical book for
the "book field" of the Change Verse Window. You may use the
normal cursor control keys, or simply type in the first few
characters of the desired book to move the bar cursor to the
desired book.
To select the book and exit the window press <Enter>. To
exit the window without selecting a book press <Esc>.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 30
Chapter and verse fields
The chapter and verse fields are virtually identical, and
are entered calculator style (see page 27).
SEARCHING FOR WORDS
Pressing <F8> within either the Script Windows or within the
Editor Window causes a search to begin for the words selected in
the Words Window according to the current search parameters.
Pressing <Esc> during a search will cause the search to end
without finding a verse.
The Words Window is opened in order to select words or
change parameters by pressing <F7>, again from within either the
Script Windows or the Editor Window.
In the Words Window are three major areas:
Search Words: In the upper left corner of the window is a
list of words that will be used in the next
search. The number of words in the list is
displayed for your convenience (see more
below).
Search Parameters: In the lower left corner of the window is a
list of parameters that tell the program how
to search for the words specified (see more
below).
Pick Words List: On the right a column of words appears from
which words may be chosen for the search
words list.
To return to the current Script Window or Editor Window
without performing a search, press <Esc>. To begin a search from
the Words Window press <Enter>. If a match is found, the window
will close and the matched verse will be sent to the current
Script Window or Editor Window. Pressing <Esc> during a search
will cause the search to end without finding a verse.
Search Words
To chose a word for a search, if the bar is in the search
parameters area, move the cursor into the list by pressing the
<Rgt> arrow. Then use the <Up> and <Dn> arrow keys, <Pgup>,
<Pgdn>, <Home>, and <End> to move the cursor bar to the desired
word. You may also type in the first few characters of the word,
and the program will find the word for you. Pressing <5> on the
number pad (<Num Lock> off) will select the word for the search.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 31
If the current search method is "Word," a selected word
replaces the old word in the search words list. If the current
search method is "And" or "Or," the selected word is added to the
bottom of the list (if it is not already in the list). Otherwise
it is deleted.
Notice that all words in the search words list are high-
lighted in the pick words list. You can quickly move among these
words by pressing the <Rgt> arrow key.
If you wish to see how the current word is used in the Bible
you may open the Word Usage Window by pressing the grey plus key
(see page 33).
Search Parameters
There are four search parameters that affect the way search-
es are performed by Scripture. To change any of these parameters
move the bar cursor to the parameter field (use left arrow from
the pick list and then up and down arrow) and follow the instruc-
tions below.
Method: There are three search methods. (1) Word - searches
biblical text for a single word. (2) Or - searches
biblical text for verses containing one or more words
in the Search Words list. (3) And - searches biblical
text for passages containing all the words in the
Search Words list (see radius below). Use the grey
plus or grey minus keys to select the desired method.
Radius: This value determines the size of passages searched in
the "And" mode. The smallest radius is 0 and refers to
a single verse (the center of the passage). A radius
of 1 refers to the center verse, and 1 verse on either
side for a total of 3 verses. A radius of 2 refers to
5 verses, etc. If a match is found using the "And"
mode, it is the center verse in the passage that is
given to the Script or Editor Window. Use the grey
plus key to increase the value by 1, the grey minus key
to decrease the value by 1, Alt-grey plus to increase
it by 10, and Alt-grey minus to decrease it by 10.
Global: This value determines whether a search from the search
window begins at the beginning of the scope or from the
current window context. If this value is set to "yes,"
the search will begin at the beginning of the scope
(see below). If it is set to "no" the search will
begin at the verse following the current verse in the
Editor Window or the verse following the last verse
displayed in the Script Window, whichever is the cur-
rent window. Toggle the value by pressing either the
grey plus or the grey minus keys.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 32
Books: The number displayed is the number of books currently
in the search scope (see the next topic). To enter the
Search scope window in order to modify the scope, place
the bar cursor on this number and press the grey plus
key.
SETTING THE SCOPE
The term "scope" refers to the books that would be searched
with either of the search commands (<F7> which opens the search
window or <F8> which searches from the current context). To
change the scope go to the "Books" field of the search window and
press the grey plus key. A window displaying the scope will open
on the left side of the screen. Books in the scope will be
displayed in a bright intensity. Books which are unavailable for
use are displayed in lowercase.
To toggle the setting of any book use the cursor keys to
select the book (or type the name of the book) and press <5>
(<Num lock> should be turned off). Repeatedly pressing this key
will cause successive books to be toggled.
Quick toggle keys toggle the states of all books within
specific groups. The quick toggle keys and their associated
groups are:
<Alt-1> Pentateuch . . . . Genesis to Deuteronomy
<Alt-2> History . . . . . . Joshua to Esther
<Alt-3> Poetry . . . . . . Job to Song of Solomon
<Alt-4> Prophets . . . . . Isaiah to Malachi
<Alt-5> New Testament . . . Matthew to Revelation
To accept the changes and to dispose of the scope window
press <Enter>. Pressing <Esc> will cause the program to dispose
of the window and ignore the changes you have made.
WORD USAGE
To see how a word is used in the Bible select the word from
the pick words list in the Search Words Window by pressing the
grey plus key. A large window on the left will appear. At the
top of the window the selected word and the total number of
occurrences for the word will be displayed. In the center of the
window is a list of Bible books. Those books in which the word
may be found are highlighted.
Books which are not in the current scope are printed in
lower case characters.
Scripture Version 2.12 Page 33
To see the usage for another word move the bar cursor to the
word and press one of the following keys:
<5> (<Num lock> off) This key also selects the word
for the search list (not currently displayed).
<Grey plus>, These keys simply display the usage for the
<Enter> current word.
Additionally you may quickly display the usage for all the
words in the search list (highlighted words) by repeatedly
pressing the <Rgt> arrow key.
HELP ON HELP
Scripture has a context-sensitive help system, which will
give you help on keystroke commands and other important informa-
tion. It is invoked by pressing <F1> from within any window.
You can select from an index of help topics by pressing <F1> a
second time, and you can page backward through a list of previ-
ously selected topics by pressing <Alt-F1> from within the help
window.
The text for a given topic may also contain links to other
topics, which can be selected by moving a bar to the appropriate
word or phrase and pressing <Enter>.
SCRIPTURE FILES
The complete Scripture system includes all the following
files. However, you may have received only a portion. If you
think you need more files to make your evaluation, please see the

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Scripture was written by Mr. Gil Yoder. The author has been
preaching the gospel since January 1979, following his graduation
from the Preston Road School of Preaching in Dallas, Texas. He
is currently preaching for the Coalgate Church of Christ in
Coalgate, Oklahoma. He has preached locally in Mustang, Oklaho-
ma, in Moab, Utah, and in Spring Hill, Kansas. Occasionally he
has filled pulpits in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. He
has been a member of the church of Christ since January 1969.
Mr. Yoder's interests in computers dates from the summer of
1979, when he purchased his first, a Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80,
now called a model one. It had 4k memory and Level One Basic.
He spent almost as much for that computer as he did for his AT
clone with a 20 meg hard drive. He learned much of his program-
ming skills at the keyboard of that computer.
Eventually the TRS-80 gave way to an Osborne I computer,
which he chose over Kaypro, because he believed Osborne to be a
more reliable company. A little while after Osborne's demise he
traded his Osborne for a used Kaypro 10. This computer served
him until his purchase of the clone.
Most of Mr. Yoder's computer knowledge was self taught from
many hours of reading and keyboarding. However, he has had some
training at the South Oklahoma Junior College in BASIC, and has
completed a course in Computer Electronics at Kiamichi Vocational
Technical School in Atoka, Oklahoma.
This project has been a labor of love for Mr. Yoder. Since
his first purchase of the TRS-80 he has wanted a program to help
in his Bible study and sermon preparation. Several programs were
examined, but were either too expensive and/or lacked certain
features deemed essential. Scripture is an attempt at a remedy.
While it may not yet have every feature a Bible student needs,
there is always the next version! Please read Problems and
Suggestions (page 37).
Mr. Yoder is thirty-six years old. He has been married to
his first (and only) wife, the former Linda L. Hecker, for twelve
years. He has one daughter, Dena Marie, age nine.
