Configuration: ER0140/002 v 2.10.2

I have not been able to get the shell access to work. Here's what I've done so far:

I have configured the first page of "iLiad Settings" according to the user and password I previously set up for myIrex.

I setup a wireless profile. I press the connect to IDS button and apparently successfully connected to IDS since when I visit http://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php/developer the MAC address for the iLiad is available in the drop-down list.

I then press the "send developer package" button and arrive at http://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php. I then again press the IDS button on the iLiad and the iLiad shows "connecting to server" and then rather quickly shows "--download complete--". The iLiad then displays the "Download History" screen with the single entry being the "Release Notes v2.10.pdf".

The iLiad doesn't restart as the web page at http://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php/developer says it should but having read various and sundry threads I restart the iLiad both by just turning it off and then on and also by pressing the reset button.

In any event I have put the unzipped mrxvt on both a CF card and on the internal memory of the iLiad. I've also tried gnuchess, the x48 calculator and the gpe applications. In all cases nothing much happens when I tap on the folder containing mrxvt and so on. The green status light may flash once or not at all when I tap on the item in the contentlister.

The folders show up with the png icon appropriate to the contents and the title is the application title and there is a subtitle "Command Shell". All of this would seem to me to indicate that some code is detecting the presence of the png and the run.sh. From the directions I have read in various threads I was expecting the folder to simply open so that I could tap on the run.sh entry; however, the folder doesn't open. It appears as though there is some attempt to treat the entire folder with contents as an executable object but the launch is failing somewhere along the way.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to what I have overlooked or am otherwise doing incorrectly.

Thanks
