As far as I know, you can't set and start a different program from within
another program. Execution stops when you switch programs, so the
following start task instruction will never get reached.
Maybe Dave meant that you can switch programs using the IR link, then start
task 0, also using the IR link. This works just fine.

You can do this - sort of. The restriction is that all the "programs" have
to be implemented as tasks of a single program.
