To type Greek or Hebrew on the Command Line simply change the Search Version to a Greek or Hebrew Bible version. Then on the Command Line, type a search related control character, that is, the period (for an AND search,) the forward slash (for an OR search) or the apostrophe (for a PHRASE search.) BibleWorks will automatically change the font to the appropriate language.
The character mapping for the BibleWorks fonts correspond, as much as possible, to Latin or Roman lettering used for English. For instance, to type א or α type a; to type ב or β type b. To enter the search for ".ιησους χριστος" simply type .ihsous cristos. To type the search for ".יהוה אלהים" simply type .yhwh alhym. Notice that the Command Line automatically handles necessary changes in font, text direction, and final letterforms, when applicable. Also note that by default, Greek and Hebrew search commands do not include accents or vowel points. See § 25 in the Online Help for the complete Greek and Hebrew keyboard maps.
If difficulty is encountered typing in Greek or Hebrew on the Command Line...
1. First confirm that the Search Version is a Greek or Hebrew version.
2. Then confirm that an appropriate search related control character has been entered.
If information is needed for Command Line syntax, see section 19 of the Online Help for more Command Line Examples. The Getting Started video on The Search Window also discusses and demonstrates the use of the three major search types.
