- in Scripture. It is designed to be used on STs that have at least one megabyte
- of memory.

- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- This section gives a few brief instructions on how to use the concordance
- program. Please refer to the paragraph above for information on how to obtain
- the complete instruction manual. The manual contains a tutorial with many
- examples and illustrations, along with instructions for functions that are not
- discussed here.
-
- OPENING THE TEXT
- After starting up the program, load in the text by selecting Open from the File
- menu and choosing PAUL.CMP from the File Selector.
-
- SEARCHING FOR A WORD OR PHRASE
- Type the word (or phrase) into the Search Command window and press Return.
- The results of the search will appear in the List window, and the first verse
- will appear at the top of the Text window. (If you are searching for a phrase,
- do not puctuate it. Punctuation contained in the text is ignored during the
- search.)
-
- VIEWING VERSES
- To view a verse that was found during a search, activate the List window and
- click on the verse. The verse will be displayed at the top of the Text window.
-
- SEARCHING FOR SEVERAL WORDS AT ONCE
- To search for verses that contain one of several words, separate the words
- by slashes (/) when entering them into the Search Command window. For example,
- to search for verses that contain "love" or "charity" type love/charity. (The
- slash only works on words, not phrases.)
-
- SEARCHING FOR WORDS WITH A COMMON ROOT
- To search for verses that contain words that have a common root, type the root
- with a plus (+) at the end. For example, to search for verses that refer to
- baptism, type bapt+.
-
- SEARCHING FOR WORDS IN THE SAME VERSE
- To search for verses that contain several words, but not necessarily in order,
- separate the words by commas. For example, to search for verses that contain
- "grace" and "peace" type grace,peace.
-
- COMBINATION SEARCH
- The above search commands can be combined to conduct more complex searches.
-
- OTHER FUNCTIONS
- This program was designed to operate in an intuitive manner. Feel free to
- experiment with the windows and the various menu options.
-
-
-
- UPGRADES
-
- In an effort to provide you with the highest quality software possible, we will
- continue to upgrade the concordance program. Future versions will feature
- increased search speed (at least double the current speed) and an ability to
- search texts that exceed memory capacity. We will also be adding a progress
- indicator that can be viewed while a complex search is underway, a "go to"
- command that will allow you to easily find a verse in the text that is not in
- the search list, and a window into the dictionary to view all the words that are
- in the text.
-
- We are currently preparing the text of the Old Testament for use by the
- concordance program. Also, if possible, we will be making the text of the NIV
- Bible available. Announcements about upgrades will be sent automatically
- to those who have ordered from us.
