Thanks for the input. I want to keep the user from exiting the app. One of our technicians could use the secret shortcut command (or some other method) to get out of the app. The hardware and software is our's and under our total control and we don't want our users to get out of the app, but obviously need to get out to do certain maintenance functions. Locking into the app may be more difficult than this, but since I can control calendar alarms and such I have pretty good control over the system.
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks !
