Bleedin\' Clutch..........HELP!

OK, how exactly does one bleed the clutch???
I started the "10 minute" job by pressurising the lever a few times, held it in, open bleed nipple, a few bubbles and fluid came out, retightened nipple, release lever....ALL pressure has gone ! Lever just comes back to the bar!

I have now tried a pressure bleeder using 25psi from a bicycle tyre...nope.
Sucking through from the nipple end...no joy.
Remove slave cylinder..pop out piston, prime with fluid, reassemble, start again...nope.

I have obviously got a major amount of air trapped somewhere in the system...(near handlebar end or in the slave cylinder?) - how do I get it out?
Currently there is NO opressure in the system and the lever comes right back to the bar!
I am in despair (putting it mildly).
Any ideas???
