Thank you for the reply. We are calling Adobe Acrobat Reader for palm and have stored our manuals in this application. We are trying to allow our users to access the manuals for questions, then return back to our application. Obviously Adobe Acrobat is not accessible to enable any special operations for our application, so, does this explanation cover applications like this.
