[be] Getting started in Bibledit-GTK

[Robert Hunt]

Dear Teus,

    I tried using Bibledit-GTK 4.6 (on the latest Ubuntu 13.04 Raring) 
today. I haven't tried it for a long time, so I was a bit confused as to 
how to get started. I tried help, but it mentioned two help sections 
(Tasks and Tools) that I couldn't find. Also it mentioned 
File->Project->Import which didn't seem to match the actual menus of the 
program. So it seems that the help is out of sync with itself and with 
the software?

    Anyway, I wanted to load a USFM Bible (which is currently in 
Paratext). File/Project/Open didn't seem to get me anywhere, so I tried 
File/Import, but it led me to a similar empty "Open Project" box with no 
apparent way of navigating to the correct folder.

    I realize that this isn't the latest version, but nevertheless I 
assume that if it's in Ubuntu it does work. So how would I load an 
existing USFM translation in progress into Bibledit?

    Is it also possible to load other resources (e.g., major English 
translations) into BE? I found NET Bible (which seemed to be incorrectly 
called NextBible in the "Open Resource" dialogue box) and also Sabda had 
some English although with Indonesian? book name links.

    I guess I can try building the new 4.8 if it's significantly better?

Thanks,
Robert.
