It would be great if I could be able to see Parallel Commentaries
View the way may Bible programs let you use Parallel Bibles View. 

 Here is my idea:

 1.      Using passage guide you put in your scripture
reference and select Go.

2.      
After commentaries load, chose five or six
commentaries you wish to examine.

3.      
Next, right click on one of the commentaries
that are opened in tabs.

4.      
Right now there are six choices listed after
right click.

a.       Open
in a floating window

b.      Open
all in a floating window

c.       Open
a copy in a new tab

d.      Close
this tab

e.      Close
other tabs

f.       
Close all tabs

5.      
Here is where I would like to see one more
choice that reads Open all in parallel view.

6.      
As it is now there is a lot of switching between
commentaries that could be eliminated if part of your screen or another screen
could be designated for a Parallel Commentaries View.

It's commendable but commentaries are not as amenable to a parallel view as bibles are:

• they are not committed to more or less the same text as bibles; differences in length will be an issue
• different versification is an enemy of parallelism  e.g. one has v1-7 as an article, the other has articles for v1-5 and v6-10
• the primary article can be difficult to locate in the individual commentary due to multiple milestones i.e. commentaries often have a Heading (e.g. 21:1-22:5) + overviews for a passage (21:1-27) and then different articles for the verses (21:2-4) e.g. EBC on Revelation.
