The part of your message that was trimmed, along with your signature was:
 ## Change this to match your Lirc socket file
>>>> lirc_socket="/var/run/lirc/lircdSerial"

and the question I had was Why we used "lirc_scoket" in this case when
we used "/var/run/lirc/lircdSerial" in the previous scenario. Which,of
course now makes perfect sense.   Still recording will test and report
tomorrow.   Daryl
