Apparently the standard way to go home from a full screen app on the Amazon Kindle Fire is to dismiss the soft keyboard and tap the screen. But on ATE tapping the screen brings up the keyboard again.

You can go home by quitting the terminal, either by closing all the terminal windows or by using a shell command like exit.

Perhaps we can make tap-to-show-keyboard a preference, or just suppress it on the Kindle Fire.

Presumably Amazon will upgrade to Android 4.0 some day, and that will also solve this problem.
