Front Row/Remote

[Ian Wood]

You can certainly launch Front Row via AppleScript, it was mentioned  
when the 'hacked' copies were floating around:

tell application "System Events"
	
	tell application "Front Row" to activate
	key code 53 using {command down}
	
end tell

And once FR is up and running it accepts arrow keys, enter and escape.

Chris - I'm not sure there is any easy way of intercepting the  
messages from the remote - it certainly doesn't send rawkeyup or  
rawkeydown messages to the frontmost app. :-(
