Thanks for the links.

:-)  And how do I know what my android device provides ?   Its not like 
we're in a cyberpunk world where I would just grab the knowledge chip that 
came with the phone and plug it into the socket in my neck.

IOW, I'm a noobie.  Do you know of a(ny) website carrying that kind of info 
(and preferrably some examples and perhaps even tutorials too) ?

True.  I just checked and the best I can find in that direction is an 
"/Android" folder with the subfolders "data", "media" and "obb"  (I still 
have to check what those are ment for).

> Some ways to *find* the folder /system/bin

Thanks for those instructions.  I saved your message for future reference.
