That would work for the documents which I'm providing. Part of the benefit of using Plucker documents would be to allow users to add documents (from various websites, etc) and it would be an added complication to have to modify the documents to include an exit. It feels like a non-elegant solution.

You would be writing a reader, from scratch, that can read the Plucker document format, based on the existing Plucker document API. If you took this route, you wouldn't be able to use code that already exists in Plucker to do it. You would have to create your reader from scratch, using the public API. If, however, you wanted to use Plucker's source code directly in the reader, that component would have to be covered by the GPL, as a derivitive work of Plucker itself. There is no reason why these can't be two separate applications: 1.) Your commercial application (non-free), and 2.) a small reader that can read Plucker documents (GPL). You can strip quite a lot of functionality out of Plucker to make a "slim" reader if you wish, to make this happen. If you wish to make having Plucker onboard, a requirement for your application, with the intent of sub-launching Plucker from within your commecial application, you'll have to make modifications to Plucker directly to support the "Exit" function, as we've been discussing. Here's a thought... what about adding a function code, in the document itself, that would force an exit of Plucker, when tapped? d. ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

I would prefer the equivalent of a "done" button on a document view. What I would like to do is to have a list of documents in my app - some of them Plucker documents, some of them other formats. When the user taps the name of a Plucker document it would display. When they are done reading the document they would return to my list with something like the "done" button in the memo and address apps. So my app would be managing the "library" part... To me, the sysAppLaunchCmdOpenDB launch code implies that the sublaunch is for a particular document.

You could use "AppLaunchWithCommand('Plkr', sysAppLaunchCmdOpenDB,
ptr to SysAppLaunchCmdOpenDBType with cardNo and dbID), but, as you say
since Plucker has no exit button, your app is not returned to. If there
was than it would be.
You could file a feature request and ask that an exit button be added.
