you can't do that, not with a normal asm program anyway.
you'll have to use a system hook, either sqrtkey or one of the others.
it is possible to switch to applications from an asm program, but they
require the context monitor to be running, which never returns.  when the
apps exit, they just switch to the homescreen context and keep the same
monitor running.

yeah, that looks like the complete list of system menus.
