Great work, downloading!

as for the coding:
names are simple: make a table like:

local names={"Genesis",and so on}
(sorry, but I don't know the english titles)
and when you get a number of the book do sth like:

function bookName(num)
return names[num]
end
And ending the program is really simple, just add an instruction on key press, like:

if key==1 then return true end

Edit: your download link seems to be broken. Now it works.

Ok thanks for the tip on the booknames.
the exit button was something I forgotten, not worth a fix for now
And I have tried to fix the link, does it work now?

Not to be rude, and this is a cool program at all and could have some more practical uses, but what exactly is the objective of this program?

Keep it clean here, or I will not be a happy person… I myself am atheist, but if there's any sort of religion bashing going on in ANYWAY on the forums, I will not hesitate to take action. I like the fact that people are using CC for every reason under the sun, including a in-game bible.
