I bet you're right on all counts. My device has slots for both types
of cards, but I've never even tried a CF card in it. As you guess,
it's trivial for me to add "\Storage Card\Crosswords" to the list
that's searched, so I definitely want to try that before taking the
riskier approach of adding a file browser and saved preference.

So I'm guessing we should have a fix for the SD Card issue in the near future. :)
