    <title>First Start</title>

    <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>

    <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/first_start.png"/>

    <p><app>Xiphos</app> then opens its interface with one tab displayed,
    showing Romans 8:28. Once the interface is open, you can use
    <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> to change any of the
    selections already made by default.</p>
