BibleTime is mainly operated from the Module Tree (this tree is called the "Main Index"). The second important place to work with BibleTime is the MDI area (MDI = Multiple Document Interface).
This is the pane on the left side of the BibleTime window. It contains the tree of installed documents (Sword Modules), as well as any bookmarks you enter.
To select a document, click with the left mouse button on the desired document group (Bibles, Commentaries, Lexicons, Books, Devotionals or Glossaries) to display the contents of a document group, click with the right mouse button on the icon for the desired group. To open a document, click on it's icon.

A document can be opened from an already opened document. Simply click with the left mouse button on the verse number (pointer changes to hand) and drag it to the module list. Drop it on the name of the module you want to open, and it will open that module to the verse you dragged over. If you drag a verse number to an already open module, it will automatically jump that module to the location of the verse that was dragged over. This works for Bibles and Commentaries only.
There are two other functions accessible through clicking with the right mouse button on the document name. "About This Module" opens a window with information about copyright and other pertinent things about the selected document. "Unlock This Module" opens a small dialog for encrypted documents. This allows those with the key to enter it to decrypt the document and make it human-readable. Crosswire Bible Society must encrypt modules unless either the copyright holder provides permission for distribution as a sword module, or the text has passed into the public domain (copyright has expired). See information on locked modules on the Crosswire Bible Society web site.
You can search in a module by clicking with the right mouse button on the module name in the module list and selecting "Search in module(s)". By pressing shift and clicking on other module names you can select more than one. Then follow the same procedure to open the search dialog. You will be searching in all of these documents. A complete description of the operation of the search features can be found here.
