Thanks, Jim. It'll probably come in handy some day.

Hmm, can't seem to get the tab navigation to work on my machine (i.e., t 12). On the subject of key shortcuts, I know one can navigate between tabs via "ctl + enter", going from left to right. But is there any way of going in reverse direction? I've never been able to find a command that does this.

You have to actually type the name of the tab, or the tab number if you haven't named it. So, for example, if you've named a tab "mysearch", you would type on the command line:
t mysearch
or if you haven't named a tab, then you would type on the command line:
t 3
in order to go to the third tab.
It should work.
I think the difference between Donald Cobb's and DavidR's navigation keys is the difference between the Apple and Windows operating systems.
I don't have access to Apple, so I don't know how closely the Apple version mimics the Windows one, but if Command Line shortcuts work for Apple, the "t <tab name>" should work to move between search tabs. Sorry if my previous comment did not make it clear that the "12" was a tab name.

Hello Scott, David and Jim,
Many thanks for your comments! Both Scott's and David's suggestions work perfectly, so I'm a happy camper! Actually Jim, FWIW, I have BW10 installed both on my old (i.e., 2009) Macbook Pro with Parallels, and with the "native" Mac version on my desktop. I mostly use the laptop, so it's usually the Windows version that's open.
Regards to all,
Don

I know that I'll likely be placed in a social pillory and flogged for even bringing this up, but I'd like real Strong's definitions tied to the Bible versions that are keyed to a Strong's. I deal with people that just use a Strong's and I need to open other Bible software to get them definitions. I also have to recommend to these students other Bible software when they only want to go into the original languages as deep as a Strong's and they want real Strong's definitions.
The Strong's, being in the public domain, has been tossed into the wood chipper and"tweaked" into it's present state. The original definitions would be the best.
Ok, I said it. I can personally flip over rocks in the gnarly and deep Hebrew lexicons with the best of them, but a lot of people cannot and a real Strong's would probably go a long way into opening a door into original language study for folks that need a bridge to get there. Having that bridge available just might get them to be able to appreciate the other fine resources that BW has to offer.
Oh, and I personally think that James Strong did a fantastic job and that it is very much still a viable work despite the opinions of those that breathe the rarified air. I was surprised when I purchased BW4 that it had no Strong's and have kept up my BW to version 10. Perhaps version 11 will have one.
The current method of using html help to create user resources is not really too Mac friendly. Perhaps an alternative methodology for creating such resources could be included in BibleWorks 11.
