Hey, no problem. Wish I could be of more help. 

I never got around to testing it on the actual reader. What's failing?

Hello Ben,
 
Right, I did forget the skin file.

Hello Ben,
 
Right, I did forget the skin file.
 
The keyboard is supposed to be below the crossword field and the clue
rectangle. Layout for me was the most difficult part as I only partially
understood how the layout xml file worked. The problem may be that the
coordinates are hard-coded for 905 and do not come out for other models. So
that probably needs to be fixed as well.
 
BTW, I forgot to mention saving the entered solution back in the same .puz
file also works.
 
Thank you so much for helping.
Dan

Explains a lot that you have a 950! I worked out a suitable way for it to
work on a 650, but I am having trouble getting it to actually work on my
reader. It's working fine in the Sim!
 
Thanks for the skin file. I had come up with something similar, but it is
good to see yours.

I had a chance to look at the app again, and had a hunch that the xml file was too large (I remembered that we were getting errors when individual files got over 95kB).  So I trimmed it back to only allow a crossword 15x15 maximum.  And it worked.  I can now do crosswords on my 650.

However, now I am having trouble with the menu.  It opens, but none of the entries work.  So I have emailed Mark (the developer of the MineSweeper app) and am awaiting his assistance!

I know that you said your app was able to save the user's progress, but it doesn't seem to restore progress.  I'll take a look at that next.  And then I will need to add a "Clear puzzle" item.  I also want to make the "Home" button quit the app.  But it is getting closer to being able to be added to the main repository!
