<p>When you start <app>Xiphos</app> for the first time, <app>Xiphos</app>
creates a default selection of options for display. Also, if no other Sword
application has ever been run, and thus there are no Bible modules
installed, then <app>Xiphos</app> starts the Module Manager so that you can
select and install a Bible module in your language preference.</p>
