Thanks Stephen, 

The script worked fine and I’m getting the correct responses in irw now, just need to get the lord file in the right place for mythfrontend to use it. I have a file that worked for my Hauppauge MCE remote before, so I should be able to use it here, but I cannot remember exactly where it needed to be.
