OK, I'm almost there with this. I can now open pdfs on my iliad from my bibliography manager on my PC. The only thing I need to sort out now is exiting from ipdf. If I call ipdf with the path to the pdf it opens okay, but when I try to exit on the iliad, e.g. by pressing one of the buttons, I am left with the PDF on screen. I think it has exited to the contentlister because the number of pages shown at the bottom corresponds correctly to the number of pages for each button, but it does not show the contentlister.

I am not familiar with how the contentlister works. I remember seeing in start.sh(?) something like

Code:

contentlister -sync

which looks like it might do "something" but I am reluctant to start prodding it to see what works just in case I make a mess of things.

Anyone got any pointers?
