Dear Daudi,

Thank you very much for your response and the symlink examples sent. Please accept my apologies as I was on a business trip and was not able to respond to you earlier.
I was finally able to test your symlink files with mitigated success.
1. First test: I copied the symlink files that you provided (manifest xml and link png) to the CF book folder and I was able to read the books on the internal memory from the CF Book folder successfully. In addition to the fact that this is not really what I want to ultimately accomplish, the other issue in that case was that i could not access the other books uploaded on my CF Book folder, but only books from the internal memory were accessibles.
2. Second test: I made a couple of modifications to the book manifest xml file that you provided (Description: Books on the CF; content: mnt/CF/Books), and I copied the modified manifest and the link png files to the existing internal memory Book folder, but this time was not able to access books from the CF/Book folder???

when I tried to click on the link file which appeared I opened a Notes type of file with the png....

I guess what I really want to be able to accomplish is to have a link from the intenal memory folders (Books, Documents, Notes and Newspapers) to the CF folders (Books, Documents, Notes and Newspapers) so that I can access my CF files (almost all of them) quicker by using the iliad buttons.

I really don't know what i am doing wrong, but i will appreciate if you can again extend me a helping hand..

Thanks a million in advance,

Dabon.
