Hello All,
I am working on Beyond TV, and trying to get my remote to work with my USBURIT, and this great little program EventGhost. Is there any way to send key strokes for (comma , ) & (period . ) & (+) & (-) ??

The comma, and period are the keyboard shortcuts in beyond TV for skip forward 30 seconds, and instant replay(skip backwards 7 seconds). Both are pretty much needed, and I can't find a workaround?

Any ideas?

Michael

Actually it should work if you simply type a "+" into the textbox.
But I guess, you already have tried. So the next try would be to use:
{OEMPLUS}
{OEMMINUS}
{OEMCOMMA}
{OEMPERIOD}

Hi, Thanks for the ideas, I will try them. I found a work around last night, using a program call AUTOHOTKEY. Basically, I remapped the Lwin & Rwin keys to do the comma and period. It worked, but just means 1 more piece of software to configure, and keep working on my HTPC.

I will try the OEM statements you posted, and hope for the best.
