Chris,
If you approach this from the software side you might have better
luck. Open up Applescript editor and see about the Dictionary for
Front Row. I don't have Front Row so I can't tell what features are
available for third party apps via AS.
Then if there are messages for FR from within AS then you can arrange
them and control them from within Rev.
HTH - Let us know,
Tom
