That is where the possible problem lies:

If I plug in the iPad to Macintosh (10.8) it opens iTunes: I seem unable 
to get the file system on the iPad to mount.

If I plug in the iPad to Linux I see 2 volumes; "Richmond" and 
"Documents": neither of which, if I burrow down into the directories,
seem to contain any apps, photos or anything else.

What I need to know is where in those 2 volumes I should place my 
Livecode standalone so that it shows up on the iPad desktop.
