Thanks Jeff, I tried irrecord again and this time I was able to get it 
working.  A couple of things:

1. When following the irrecord instructions, it says to hold the remote 
buttons for approximately one second.  When I did this, the resulting 
config detected the same signal no matter what button was pressed.  I 
rerecorded and pressed the buttons for a much shorter time frame which 
resulted in all the buttons being detected.  The problem now is that 
when I press them they don't always give consistent results (ie 
sometimes the button press is detected other times it goes undetected).  
Is there something I can do to fix this?

2. There is a remote config file for the apple remote and I have a 
feeling that it would likely solve my problem if I could get it to 
work.  I've tried using the apple config but nothing is detected.  Do I 
have to do something special to use it?

Thanks again
Kier
