Selecting an application
In order to get to all available applications, to change the
currently selected application, and to get to the currently
selected application there is a set of application management
commands. The application management commands are a
subset of the Generic Commands and start with :APPM. The
application management acts as a switch routing the remote
control commands to the selected application. In order to
identify an application each application has a unique application
ID (<app_ID>) which will be used to set the switch.
For example send :APPM:SEL SYSTEM in order to select the
system application.
In addition to selection via the application management
commands, one can use a colon followed by the <app_ID> as a
prefix to the remote command.
For example, add the prefix :SYSTEM to any system application
command in order to communicate with the system application.
Note: Adding a prefix to a command has the same effect as
selecting an application via an application management
command. Hence, after using a prefix, the application
corresponding to that prefix is the selected application.
