RoadLingua has an exit button when sublaunched but not when launched from the Launcher. That would seem the best solution. Alex ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

That's why my suggestion is: If you are on the home page, switch the 'Home icon' to 'Exit icon' (like the lookup works). Would add about a dozen lines to the code. If it was a compile time option, then Gerda (or anyone that wanted to subcall Plucker) could compile it with the option on. ---End reply Christopher R.

That's not how the Palm works. I can only think of a few programs that do that, such as SuperWaba (which has oodles of other serious problems) and ZLauncher (for which it makes sense as this allows you to return to the internal Launcher.) By looking at just added-on programs (nothing that came with it) on my Clie (which will give you a sense of what crap I run)... Bible+, Pilot-DB, FontsOS5, HandyShopper, KeyQuick, KeyRing, Kinoma, Plucker (currently), PalmReader, Sony's SilkSample, SMBMate, and SolFree all are exit-free. They figure you know how to switch via the Launcher icon. The only currently-installed added software I have that presents an exit is DreamAway demo, perhaps because it grabs the whole screen. Put yourself in the mindset of a typical (not us, typical) web-browser user. They long ago lost track of where they are exactly in any given site-tree. But "back" takes them to previous options. Hit it too often, nothing happens. You don't pop out of your browser, you just stop. And think of how annoyed you'd be if you DID just pop out of your browser... because now you have to restart it and find and reload those pages. ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

Because currently, tapping the back arrow from the "main" screen while viewing a document sends you to the Library. I'm not a fan of exit buttons really, since (as Mike put it so well), it violates the "Zen" of Palm. d. ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

Why limit it to the library? Why not let the back function exit instead of going to the library if the you're on the "first" page (and that page isn't the library). I suppose the exit could default to the launcher if plucker wasn't in a subcall, since the only other ways to start within a document are to continue a session (= not really on the first page) or to launch with a specific document (= previous program was a launcher). -jJ ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
