-
- The object of the grabber is to "grab" text off the screen to place in
- the Notepad or Commentary via the "Paste" function.
- To use the grabber, move the cursor to the upper left corner of the text
- you wish to grab. Press <Alt><F4>. Then move the cursor to the bottom
- right corner of the text. Notice that a reverse image box indicates the
- text to be grabbed. Press <F7> or <Ctrl><F4> to copy the "grabbed" to
- the Paste buffer.

- *ASSOCIATOR*
- Move cursor up one row <Up>
- Move cursor down one row <Down>
- Move cursor left one column <Left>
- Move cursor left 10 columns <Shift><Tab>
- Move cursor right 10 columns <Tab>
- Move cursor right one column <Right>
- Change To/From Bible versions <Alt><F3>
- Associate highlighted word <Enter>
- Quit <Esc> or <F7>
-
- The Associator is designed to allow you to find words in the same or
- different Bible versions in a given verse that have a significant number
- of occurances with a selected word. Within the same Bible version, you
- can check and see what other words in a given verse tend to occur with a
- word you are studying. With different Bible versions, you can use the
- Associator to help you determine how one word is translated in a different
- version.
-
- We suggest your practice using the Associator on the same version or on
- two english translations until you become familiar with its capabilities
- and limitations. Keep the following comments in mind:
-
- The frequency of a given word has a significant impact on the Associator.
- High frequency "noise" words such as 'the', 'and', 'of', etc. tend to
- find other noise words and are not too accurate. Similarly, very rare
- words tend to primarily find noise words. Between these two extremes,
- the Associator seems quite accurate.
-
- The Associator uses the current defined search range to allow you to
- examine "associations" within segments of the Bible (the writings of
- John, for instance). Generally, a small range will lower frequencies
- and may create "rare words", reducing accuracy.
-
- When "associating" with the GNT, SeedMaster automatically masks off the
- Old Testament references for your source word, even if the OT is part
- of your currently defined search range. This makes GNT associations
- accurate.
-
- Correlation is computed by taking the percentage of Coincidence for a
- given word and dividing by the total Coincidences for all words with
- a Coincidence of at least 1%. If more than five words have that signi-
- ficance (rare), they ARE taken into consideration in this computation.

- *SEARCH STATS*
- Move menu up one row <Up>,<Shift><Tab>
- Move menu down one row <Down>,<Tab>
- Move menu left one column <Left>
- Move cursor right one column <Right>
- View Chapter Summary / Chapter Verses <Enter>
- Quit <Esc> or <F7>
-
- The Search Statistics provide a book by book and chapter by chapter summary
- of search "hits". Initially, Search Statistics displays a book by book list,
- also indicating the percentage of the total number of search verses to the
- right of the number of hits. This percentage is calculated using simple
- integer math, and is subject to a small amount of rounding error. If you
- press <Enter> on a book, the underlying chapters will be displayed. If you
- press <Enter> on a chapter, the search list will be advanced to the first
- verse within that chapter. If there is no hits within that chapter, the
- search list will be advanced to the nearest verse.
-
- Search Statistics can be used to quickly advance to other hits within a
- search list.
- ════════════════════════════════END════════════════════════════════════
- *VERIFY PRINT DEVICE*
- If the Current Device is not correct:
- 1. Exit the warning message by pressing the <Esc> key.
- (After leaving Help!).
- 2. Go to "Printer Setup..." on the main menu.
- 3. Select/Define the correct device.
- 4. Restart Printing.
- ════════════════════════════════END════════════════════════════════════
- *SINGLE WORD INPUT*
- Enter a single word.
-
- Notes: If you enter more than one word, only the first will be used.
- STRONG'S NUMBERS: If applicable, you may enter a Strong's OT
- or NT number, including parsing extensions:
- Orignal Numbers Parsing Extensions
- Old Test. 1 to 8674 8675 to 8853
- New Test. 1 to 5624 5625 to 5899
- To indicate an OT number, prefix it with a '0' or a "H". All
- other numbers are assumed to be NT.
- ════════════════════════════════END════════════════════════════════════
- *ENTER WORD/PHRASE*
- Enter the word or phrase words you wish to search for. If you are
- searching a Bible text, you can use the "*" as a wildcard at the begin-
- ning and/or end of a search word. For instance, you can use "*lov*" to
- find "beloved", "loved", etc. The "*" is not used when searching
- Resource files (Commentary, Scofield, etc.).
-
- If enabled and you enforce "Word Order" (General or Literal), make sure
- you enter the words in the desired order. If you enter only one word,
- "Word Order" option is irrelevant.
-
- Notes: Punctuation symbols are ignored for searching purposes. The only
- exception is an apostrophe imbedded in a word (such as those indi-
- cating possession i.e., "the lion's mouth"). Apostrophes at the
- end of a word are ignored, since they sometimes indicate possession
- and other times reflect other grammar - such as the end of an im-
- bedded quote (i.e., Genesis 20:5 (NIV)).
-
- If you use the wildcard symbol "*" at the beginning of a search
- word, the search will take longer, since SeedMaster must search
- through every word in its word list, looking for the word root.
-
- STRONG'S NUMBERS: If you have the STR Database, you may enter
- Strong's OT or NT Number(s) to search on ANY Bible version--and
- you can even combine Strong's Number(s) with other words from
- that translation. (Word Order ignores Strongs' Numbers.)
- Orignal Numbers Parsing Extensions
- Old Test. 1 to 8674 8675 to 8853
- New Test. 1 to 5624 5625 to 5899
- To indicate an OT number, prefix it with a '0' or a "H". All
- other numbers are assumed to be NT.
- ════════════════════════════════END════════════════════════════════════
