Often DNS will do this without a script. For example, "switch to [ProgName]". The trick sometimes is to figure out exactly what to say for [ProgName], which is not always the title displayed in the window banner of the program. For example, I have a program named "PowerDesk Pro 6" in its window, and "PowerDesk Pro" in the TaskManager, but you switch to it by saying "switch to PowerDesk 6".

When you do need a script, I think AppBringUp with the format you use above usually works. I've never used AppSwapWith, but the help suggests you need to first assign it your own appName and then use that parameter in the command -- unfortunately, I'm not a good enough programmer to tell you how to do that.

I have some commands that only work when using HeardWord (IIRC - it was a while since I wrote them):

check support = HeardWord(switch, to, Papillon)

You shouldn't need a command to do this. Whenever
NaturallySpeaking has an open window, you should be able to say the 1st word
or 2 within the window to bring it forward. You do not usually have to say
the name of the program. For example: If you have 3 Microsoft Word documents
open you could say “switch to Microsoft Word” but you won't have any way of
acquiring the correct target. However if one of the documents is called
“letterhead” saying “switch to letterhead” should bring that window forward.
You can optionally write a command to switch to a specific taskbar task such
as “switch to task 3” to work around the problem entirely. Unfortunately we
can't give you the code in Vocola because we work with a competing
product that already includes these capabilities.

Projectpaperclip,

This is a command I found on a forum some years ago. I use it in Windows XP to switch to open applications by their position on the TaskBar, 1 being the left most task. I use it hundreds of times daily
