Very ironic that an "application for research and study of God and His Word" is named MacSword, and the icon is a cross morphed into a weapon of war. Very medieval military.

How to Install existing Modules. Use new MacSword - Version: 2.0.0rc1-225, 8/12/2009 05:40AM PST

I have found no documentation for this new interface.
I have no connection with the authors of this software but am a longtime user.
I have made a rough vodcast to assist those familiar with the brilliant MacSword to install
modules they already have on their harddrive into this markedly different interface.
A similar process presumably applies to those downloading modules for the first time.
