Huh?Say I have a file gold.pdf. I make a new directory /mnt/free/newspapers/gold.pdf. I copy gold.pdf into that directory. Then I make a manifest.xml and a scribble.irx file and also put them in the gold.pdf directory. The contents of the manifest and scribble files are very simple and can easily be created if you simply look at a sample one. How is this difficult?

Then even after the user views gold.pdf for the first time, the location of gold.pdf doesn't change, because it looks to the iLiad just like it has already been viewed (i.e. has the correct folder structure.)
