thanks Tobi,

assuming that you already know that your script works when not called

it does

<<you should take a reference of the Process that is created when you 
shell out to fbi and set a Timer to always kill it after 5 seconds.>>
I just tried that, and seemingly no effect ... but I need to probably 
create a stripped down standalone test as the timer was not firing in 
the IDE either, not sure if maybe ncurses screen.read might be interfering?

Or make a keyboard shortcut in your application to do that -- as your 
Gambas process should still be able to receive keyboard input.)

I'll need to look into how you set up a keyboard shortcut?

but I used fbv instead of fbi

fbv does not appear to be a debian package?
Currently based around debian 9 and trying to stick to packages 
available from std repo.
If I can find true source I may trying to compile just to see if it 
makes a difference in my case.
Do you know if fbv also displays pdf?
