Oops! My enthusiasm was premature. The serious drawback of this method 
is that after finishing an exercise, you cannot return to the original 
page to start a second one. Maybe there is no good way to use a button 
after all. Well, I guess I'll just remove it an let the user enter 
full-screen mode manually, after all.
