- ControlDesk loads applications to FLASH instead of to RAM if scoutcmd has previously loaded an application to FLASH.

- scoutcmd does not report that the application cannot be loaded if the program on the platform is locked.

- scoutcmd stops the ControlDesk animation in order to load an application onto a multiprocessor system.
