Thanks Karsten,

i can see now the applet is on the card, but if I tried it with AID that 
you wrote me: 0xA0:00:00:03:0x23:01, muscle tools wrote back: Token 
Unsupported. If I install it with AID 0A:00:00:00:01 and :01 for applet, 
it recognizes the token but muscleTools dont want to format it (Format 
failed ! (0x9C0F Invalid parameter)) After that even "tokens" command 
throws me ListTokens Failed ! (0x9C59 Handle is invalid)
If I exited muscleTool and run it again, i can connect to applet, but 
every command throws error (0x9C05 - Feature is unsupported)
Any idea what am i doing wrong?
