I DL'ed and installed the Barclay commentary in e-sword; the 20 MB file was installed in the e-sword root directory.

 

When I open e-sword, I cannot find any option to view the commentary - having clicked on every button/option.

 

So, how do I access/view this or any other module I in e-Sword? I could not find any answer in a Net search or FAQ other than install instructions - seemingly implying that installed modules are readily seen/accessed from within the GUI. 

 

Thanks,

There is tab marked commentaries along the left edge of e-sword along with tabs marked editors and dictionaries

Thanks, Tj,

 

The tabs only appear if one "auto hides" the respective windows; mine are all expanded and no DSB is displayed.

 

It finally dawned on me that since Barclay's is a N.T. commentary only, the commentary might not be able to be viewed outside the context of viewing a particular N.T. book or verse, i.e., it cannot be viewed independently. Alas, this seems to be true since the commentary popped into view when I clicked on Mt. 1:1.  A duh , , , moment.

 

Thanks for your input, which further stimulated this old man's thinking.
