- Copy HISWORD.CFG to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
- If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.

The author's instructions
# Installation "
create a directory on your palmtop to hold the program and datafiles (I recommend \HisWord)
copy the program file "HisWord.exe" to the newly created directory
perform a normal installation of the Online Bible on your
desktop computer, including all desired modules. The
directions for doing this are included the Online Bible
Installation Disk. If you have any problems locating the
Online Bible files, you may contact me for help. If you'd
rather not "install" the Online Bible, you may download a
file from my webpage that has the AV subdirectory ready to
copy to your palmtop.
copy the entire subdirectory containing your desired Bible version (AV, SCHOLAR, etc) from the desktop computer to the \HisWord directory on the palmtop
if you installed the optional CXREF module (contains cross-references for many verses), you may also copy the entire CXREF subdirectory from the desktop to the palmtop's \HisWord directory
The directory should be similar to the following:
HisWord\
AV\ (or SCHOLAR, etc)
...files
CXREF\
...files
HisWord.exe
# Starting the program for the first time "
The first time that the program is executed, you must designate the subdirectory of the Bible datafile to load, by specifying it on the command line. It will not be necessary to specify the datafile location on future invocations of the program, as it will remember the last datafile specified. The "remembered" location can always be overridden by specifying a datafile location when executing the program.
temporarily shutdown System Manager for the next step by pressing " ! &... MENU A T " (to ensure adequate allocated memory)
change to the directory containing HisWord.exe (e.g. a:\HisWord)

Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
