Gentlemen, all of you,
    I sincerely thank each and everyone of you.  I have tried each and 
every suggestion and just for the heck of it I reinstalled one more 
time.  I do own the program, according to the properties and the bible 
group has benn created and every one was put into it and the group 
permissions reflects those statements to be true.  The last reinstall 
was done from the user account and with all of these things being true, 
I must log into the root account to use my Bible program. 
    All I can surmise is that one, you are a great group of people to 
have stuck through this with a hard headed old man and two, we can't fix 
this and we can only pray that the software writers will Address this 
issue in the hear future.
    Gentlemen, thank you!
