OK, I made that change (putting the 'q' after the 'p'), but it initially 
it didn't work.  Then I was was looking at the lircrc file and saw that 
it had the Back-Exit key was mapped to ESC when it should've been 
Back/Exit.  I made that change and now it works.  However, I have 
noticed that when I'm navigating the Myth menus, I need to use the Stop 
button.  Pressing Exit does nothing.  I do have Esc mapped for both Stop 
and Back/Exit.  Any ideas on this one?

Thanks for the help,
Harry
