Since task 0 is the task activated by the "Run" button, you can run a

Is it possible to do this from within a running program?  What I read
implied to me that the SelectProgram() would stop the current program so
it wouldn't be running to issue the StartTask().

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.


Yep, that's exactly what I meant.
