2021-08-21 - notes on creating shell functions for a BASH shell in LINUX.

Here is a listing of functions created in a .bashrc file that allows me to use a very 
short command to search various text Bibles in my local directories.  You will need 
to change this to your local path and the filenames you have for the plain text Bibles.
The NAS text files are not on the server as they are copyrighted, however the KJV,
Greek and foreign language files found at http://seasianmissions.org/TEXT-EN-DE-FR-GR/ 
and in this directory are public domain.

These linux commands can be modified to your preference.
