sword://<options>@<module>/<key>
I send the options as the user, separated by &. Bit of a kludge but allows me to have persistent options easily within the url. I did use the query but it's not persistent.
eg. sword://Strong'[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2tim1 sword://Cross-references&[EMAIL PROTECTED]/j3
As the module you can also use default names 'Bible', 'Commentary' (actually the same at the moment), 'StrongsGreek', 'StrongsHebrew', 'MorphGreek', 'MorphHebrew'. I think these should probably be changed not to conflict the module names perhaps by appending a character like ">StrongsGreek".
Also I had a way of specifying the default bible so sword://Bible/ASV/j3 would specify a bible preferably ASV at john 3. This is not quite ideal as it changes the format of the urls, perhaps Bible=ASV might work.
One last thing MacSword does/should do is if it can't find a module it uses the default bible. So sword:///j3 works fine.
I think it would be good to fix this for MacSword. And it would be really good if any of you had good ideas on how the url format could be improved and perhaps made consistent across programs.

How about making it sword:KJV/matt3.16 and introduce sword:/matt3.16 to open the verse in a "default" bible translation?

The private protocol for sword is defined as "sword://<module>/<key>".
This is pretty old, so there's no chance of changes as drastic as dropping
the // (even if that were possible, which I don't believe it is for
Windows). We can probably add a defaulting mechanism after the next OSIS
meeting decides on the naming scheme for document identifier.
