But I still don't understand why it is working with the RUN command and not 
the SwpRunCmd() ... If I'm not wrong, RUN does also suspend the current 
process by calling another COMMAND processor with the application... 
SwpRunCmd() should do the same thing... The video mode should no be affected 
in a swapping routine...
