 I mapped it as # no other key.  After I received your reply I remapped it as Shift+# and 
also went into mythweb and changed the settings there.  If i recall correctly, the 
keybindings were only "#" no support key.

After restarting backends and lirc and rebooting the machine I still have no response for 
the Finder using the remote, and the keyboard doesn't respond to Shift #,.

It appears from the other keybindings that are there no support keys 

I changed the binding back to # and after restart the keyboard starts Finder again (Shift 
#) but still no reaction with remote.

I will have a look at the remote and see if i can use another devinput code to 
"KEY_NUMERIC_POUND'

Thanks,
John
