I understand how I would make irexec work, should that be the correct
solution.  I was just hoping there was a keybinding I could use to
make mythtv do this without having to run a separate process.  Since
there doesn't appear to be one, I think I'll experiment with a system
event handler for a keypress event before I go the irexec route,
unless someone is aware of a reason this is not the best solution.
