Greg H.,
Thanks for the info. I do have the one verse per line raw text, for the entire Bible. I did figure out the conf file. That was pretty easy. I don't think I have ever compiled anything in my life, I'm new to Linux. I'm using Ubuntu, and dual booting with Win XP. I could make the file in XP. Where do I find this vpl2mod ? I have searched the web, and it seems as though everyone is mentioning it in forums, but it is not at sourceforge that I found. Is there a windows version of this program? Thanks.

That depends on what kind of "raw text" you have. If it is just straight text that is on one "verse per line" you can use the program vpl2mod (already installed if you build from source on Linux). If each verse is more than one line long you would have to use the "import format" - before each verse you enter a like as such:
$$$Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
$$$Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form and void, and...
So on and so forth. That tool would use the imp2vs program (again, also intsalled when you build from source on Linux). Each, or at least most, of these tools are available in Windows forms if you need them. Beyond that, you also need to create a .conf file to put into the mods.d folder. It sounds like you might already know how to do this if you were just copying over from another module. That is probably one of the easier ways to do it, but you can find a description on the website at http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/ - section 2.1 will be helpful for the conf file. The rest of it can be helpful for the rest of your work also, but goes into more detail about other types of modules and items like that.
