Hi,

This message isn't so much a bug as a simple statement of fact.  What the 
morphology display feature does is try to open a dictionary which lists all of 
the morphology and what they mean.  However, while in the KJV New Testament you 
will find that this links to the "Robinson" dictionary, to the best of my 
knowledge there exists no similar dictionary for the Hebrew morphology.  
Unfortunately, as a result we cannot link to one.

Where are the morphological numbers in the OT coming from -- what's
producing the numbers in the text?  If I find a public domain dictionary
with the morphological dictionary can we convert and link it?

I did look into that.  The codes seem to have come from the Bible Foundation, 
and it's not really known what their source was.  In March someone looked into 
trying to find out what the numbers mean, but no changes to the KJV module or 
morphology dictionary came about as a result.  Until that happens, I don't 
think we can do anything on this.  I personally have no knowledge of Hebrew and 
so can only wait and see.
