This hook is called at any time that TIOS changes from one app to another. Also called when the calculator is turned off.

Using the Hook

• B = current app
  • Switching from one app to another: A = new app
  • Turning the calculator off from most apps: A = 2
  • Exiting an external app: A = 0
  • Turning the calculator off from the graph screen (possibly others): A = 0
• HL = Address the OS is going to jump to in order to switch to new app (this is a page 0 call)

Comments

TIOS completely ignores the output of this hook. You can force TIOS to go certain apps by using the JForce... B_JUMPs. (These B_JUMPs are probably not intended to be used inside this hook, so this may or may not be safe, depending on the apps involved.)
