DM,

Ah-ha! I was wondering how jsword would find it's way to my bible data. So 
this is a default path from my home directory.
So far I had my bible texts in /usr/share/sword. If I remember this correctly 
it is because the bibletime software installs the sword modules there.
For the time being I made a copy of the modules.

After this and fixing the bible description I was finally able to read the 
text of Matthew 1:1. Thanks for your support!

Next question: Is there an easy way (like making an entry in a config file) to 
change the bible search path?

Bye
