Mmm.. okay, it probably works this way instead:

Yup, like a charm. This is actually cooler than I was anticipating, because it both clears the volume dialog AND executes the trackchange command. It also works for fast-forwarding (or seems to, perhaps it would have worked that way anyhow). VERY NICE! THANK YOU!!!

Now, do you think there's a way to format the ir_translate section further so that the top button and the bottom button can work in the same way? In other words, for pause, for menu-open, for long-down-press to toggle visuals, that sort of thing?
