[mythtv-users] MythUbuntu 8.04, Streamzap Remote and programming RED button to Delete recording

[Larry on the Dell Laptop]

I would like to have the RED button on the Streamzap remote bring up the 
delete recording  menu in my new installation of MythBuntu 8.04.  Most 
of the normal remote buttons ( example: up down left right) all work  
but my attempts to program the RED button have failed.

When I start mythfrontend in a terminal,  I see

"2008-05-06 18:51:52.849 lirc init success using configuration file: 
/home/lj/.mythtv/lircrc"

The configuration file is actually a link   " /home/lj/.mythtv/lircrc -> 
../.lirc/mythtv "

So in the directory  /home/lj/.lirc,   I find the file "mythtv"

That file mythtv contains  the stanza shown below which was placed there 
by me which reads:

begin
   remote = Steamzap_PC_Remote
   prog = mythtv
   button = RED
   config = d
   repeat = 0
   delay = 0
end

When the RED button on the streamzap remote is pressed,  IRW shows

" lj at mythtv:~$ irw
00000000000028e0 00 RED Streamzap_PC_Remote  "

But when while watching a recording,  pressing the RED button does 
nothing.  However pressing either "D" or "d" on the keyboard brings up 
the "delete program recording" menu that I would like brought up when 
pressing the RED key on the Steamzap remote.  I'm missing something 
obvious, I hope...

All suggestions greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
