When I first started, the only way I knew of to start accessing the phonebook
or filesystem was to send AT$LGDMGO.  I assumed that stood for data management
mode.  Once in DM mode, you could send phonebook (0xff) and filesystem (0x59)
commands without any need to "switch" modes.

I then found out that that you could also send AT$QCDMG and that would set this
mode as well.  But it also had the advantage of working on all the CDMA phones
that support this stuff.  So I changed the code to send that instead.  (That
is why the filesystem view works on phones other than the 4400).

I also found the phone gets very confused if you just intersperse commands
from the phonebook and filesystem.  I then made it send the initialisation
command when switching command sets.
