System Commands
 

I am developing a small web based application that queries a database for basic contact and phone number information. I recently stumbled upon the "TEL:" command that can tell the phone application on a Pocket PC to dial a number directly from a hyperlink in Pocket IE with the TEL: prefix.

An example would be:
This makes it possible to call the numbers posted from the website directly with a link or button rather than having to manually dial each one.

The website that I found out about the TEL: prefix is located here.

I've looked around the web for documentation about other "system commands" like this one. I am hoping that they could make my web application integrate better with Pocket PC Phone Editions, however I unfortunately have yet to find anything. If anyone has any information that expands on this subject I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks a lot for the links. Those sites were very helpful in explaining schemes to me.
