Dude API ?

Dude 4.0beta2 on Win2K3 R2 server with WinXP clients.

I am setting up a Dude status monitor in our IT operations area and would like to be able to control which map is being displayed programatically. Is there a Dude API that I can access? If so could someone point me to where I can get the details of how to select which map to display. If there is no API are there any hot-keys that would let me achieve similar results? If so is someone able to send me a list of what they are and I can then use an AutoIT script to change maps.
