That's a great question! Of course, it would be made all the more pressing if I could actually afford Logos' WBC Collection! :( I'm only a pastor, not the star quarterback of the Stampeders!Quote:

While I was waiting for an answer I hacked in a program to do the call to "Logos - WBC" for me. It basically decides what book in Logos to call based on a reference mapping text file, like so
GEN,Genesis,1:1,15:21,WBC01
GEN,Genesis,16:1,50:26,WBC02
EXO,Exodus,,,WBC03
LEV,Leviticus,,,WBC04
Here is how the external link looks.
[Word Bible Commentary]
Operation = Open
Directory = NULL
File = "C:\development\LaunchLDLS\bin\Release\LaunchLDLS. EXE"
Parameters = WBC.TXT <book> <chapter>:<verse>
MenuLocation = Browse Window English
TextType = Bible Verse
MapToVersion = RSV
Lookup = Verse Reference
MenuText = Logos - WBC
Enabled = 1
Let me know if anyone has a better solution. If not, let me know if you want me to roll a version of the program and post it to the group

Hi Jamie,
I guess links we make depend on our method of study. Typically, when I study after my lexicon work, I then move to commentaries. So, I just made an external link from BWorks to Logos commentaries search and then I do a search on my collection of NT commentaries or OT commentaries. Just my way of doing it. God Bless
Thanks Jamie. $399 is not a bad price at all. I wonder if that sale is still going on? Of course, with WBC, as with any like commentary series, some volumes are better than others. I definitely like Wenham on Genesis though.Quote:

First make a collection in WBC (if not already done). The collection name cannot have any spaces.
In the Bibleworks External Links Manager setup a Verse Reference export with the following call
libronixdls:keylink|ref=[en]bible:<Book>%20<Chapter>%3A<Verse>|collection-name=(collection name, with no space, parenthesis, brackets, or anything.)
If that doesn't work the reference may need to be coded. See the following scripts: http://www.bibleworks.com/forums/sho...00&postcount=4
I pray that gets you close.
Where do you find it for $399.00?Quote:

The scripts are doing basically what I am doing, but in JScript. The advantage of using my method of an external mapping file is that the user could create their own mappings for different commentary collections and the program would work with no change to the code. This means I don't need to code a new script for every situation.

Thanks, this works great. I used this code to make Logos open to the verse I'm on in BW in the ESV in Logos and it works wonderfully.Quote:
