how to correctly bleed the clutch??

so I think my clutch master cyl has taken a dump. I step on the pedal and it goes all the way to the floor,with almost no resistance, the fluid was empty, and there doesnt appear to be any leaks down by the transmission. there is a drip inside the cab where the clutch op rod comes thru.

I filled the master, and I attempted to bleed the system using the same method as the brakes. pump the pedal about ten times, hold it down, loosen the bleed screw, tighten the bleed screw and repeat.

this method didnt get me any firmer feel to the pedal. there are no more air bubbles in the fluid, but the clutch still doesnt actuate.

any ideas if im right on the master, or am I bleeding the system incorrectly?

napa opens at 9am sunday, and I hope to be there acquiring a new master cyl, unfortunately I have to be at work at 11, so I hope whatever I need to do goes smoothly.

thanks in advance for any info

87 4 runner, 4 cyl, 4x4, bout 220k miles.
