Ohhh, duhhhh, just ignore me, that was so wrong. I was thinking of it
as I tapped away on the k/b!

That was the idea, but the response would only ever be Timed Out on
TiVo. Same applies with the Slims, but it's VERY useful with MCE which
uses the same schema, and also has Time Out options if you were away
from the screen and missed the prompt for instance. One schema to fit
them all, and just use a default response where it isn't appropriate.
Questions ought to be possible on a TiVo somehow though?

WRT TiVo and Info and .Event, assuming a message queue, they're quite
useful messages as you can report when a message gets its chance to be
displayed. Same applies for any queue-based display device I think.

I'll have to check my code to remind me when I send each type.
