Thank you, that worked. Now I can open KOReader directly from the home screen without going through the KUAL menus.

I still don't have a way of executing scripts from the documents folder, aside from executing them in KOReader. When I ran Check.OTA.status_current.sh from KOReader, the only way to exit out of it was rebooting, but I can deal with that limitation.

I was debating attempting what you did and manually doing what the later hotfix versions do, but decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. This gets me to about the same place without messing around with all that.

Thanks again!
