Great.  Just needed to know where to look.

Sounds fantastic.  I have 24 keys on my remotes (Creative CIMR100s), 14 
that are not numbers.  But it always seems like I need more :-). 
 Obviously I am not going to be able to map everything as Myth has such 
a wealth of features, but I am slowly getting my LIRC config to 
somewhere I can use it.  I agree that almost everything can be done with 
just a few buttons, but it's those last few things that make me break 
the keyboard out of the closet.  I am thinking of a configuration module 
for MythWeb to completely put the keyboard away, see below.

Aah, it was just a misguided assumption on my part.  I read "N swaps the 
two channels" in keys.txt as "swaps the main window for the inset 
window".  Thanks for the clarification.

On another topic, what is the status of MythWeb?  I have seen some posts 
indicating that a major rewrite is/was imminent.  I do PHP work 
professionally and have several features I would like to implement. 
 Since I know next to no C++ MythWeb will probably be my only chance to 
give back to the project.  However, if a major rewrite is in progress I 
don't want to make the modifications to v 0.9.1 only to find they (are 
broken)|(have already been implemented) in the rewrite.  It is hard to 
code against a moving target :-)  Would it be best for me to patch 
against the stable version or should I just pick a day from CVS and go 
from there?
