How about having your code: 1) write a small code image with a different ap ID that then gets called and 2) then deletes your app's main code and 3) then launces one of the built in apps to achieve a semi-graceful exit. I know this leaves a code stub but the user can delete it on their own later. Don't know if it is do-able, just one of my musings. -------------------------------- Rob Antonishen FFAAT Software Toronto, ON, Canada --------------------------------
