Ah  Jesse!   That missing "r" was the problem.  Thank you!!!   For 
others following this thread,  here's an excerpt from my 
/home/lj/.mythtv/lircrc  file.   Using this file, the  LEFT button works 
but the RED button does nothing.   No surprise since I somehow 
mispelled  Streamzap_PC_Remote as "Steamzap_PC_Remote" for each of the 
extra buttons I sought to program.  (Larry likes to perpetuate errors 
by  cut and paste ! [;-{ )
-------
begin
    remote = Streamzap_PC_Remote
    prog = mythtv
    button = LEFT
    config = Left
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
   remote = Steamzap_PC_Remote
   prog = mythtv
   button = RED
   config = d
   repeat = 0
   delay = 0
end
---------
I then restarted lirc with
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

which triggered the response

 * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC                               
[ OK ]
 * Loading LIRC modules                                                  
[ OK ]
 * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC                              
[ OK ]


Back in the mythfrontend,  all the buttons are now working.   Thank you all.
