You mean something like "eject the tape into the 5th slot of the door"?

I don't think vmchange will let you specify a specific cap slot like that, but 
robtest will.  If you specify "m s1 i1", for example, it will move the tape 
from slot 1 to inport slot 1 (I believe it counts from the top of the door, 
IIRC).  It works on an STK9740, anyway.

I hate to think why you need this, though...
