Just some clarification, I know that both of the URLs I mentioned are 
not lexicons or GNTs. :)

Sorry if I wasn't more clear.  I was just letting someone know I found 
those in the archives mentioned as good resources to have.

BDAG has to wait until I can afford it and even then I will most likely 
get Bibleworks and the BDAG module as I do most of my in depth study on 
the computer.
