Eric, I like your ideas, and have begun to looks at your code jijxipad.ijs to see what I can add. I assume you mean by a "labnext button" a lab advance button? A "choose a lab" button would also be needed, and an actual lab choice by the user would trigger the showing of the "labnext" button on jijxipad, right?
Regarding the space key peculiarities of the ipad keyboard, I have discovered a couple of workarounds. On the numeric ipad keypad there is an "undo" key which can be helpful if you wish to simply enter a list of space-separated numbers: just press the "undo" key first and then enter the list. On the symbolic ipad key pad there is a "redo" key which can be used to enter something like `a=: <a list of space-separated numbers>': on the alpha keypad enter the letter `a', then go straight to the symbolic keypad by way of the numeric keypad, then press the "redo" key before entering `=: ...' . These are not great alternatives, but they seem to work.
