Wow, very cool. Thank you, thank you.

As you may recall, I wanted to reveal only
buttons 2, 3 and 6 in the left column
and button 9 in the right column.

I was able to change the buttons adjacent to button 9 so that now

Up makes the highlight jump to button 2 (Deleted Scenes)
Left makes the highlight jump to button 3 (Auditions)
Down makes the highlight jump to button 6 (Stills Gallery)
Right keeps the highlight on button 9 (Main Menu)

+---+---+---+
| . | 2 | . |
+---+---+---+
| 3 | 9 | 9 |
+---+---+---+
| . | 6 | . |
+---+---+---+

So, since the navigation is constrained by the remote, that leaves only
four buttons that can be directly linked to manually.

I guess all that was really necessary was for the
Left button to jump to the topmost choice of the left colum, which is 2 (Deleted Scenes).
In that context, I could make Up, Left and Down all jump to 2 (Deleted Scenes).

+---+---+---+
| . | 2 | . |
+---+---+---+
| 2 | 9 | 9 |
+---+---+---+
| . | 2 | . |
+---+---+---+

What's the story on

When the buttons are displayed, force the selection of ...
button in sprm(8)
button 1
button 2
button 3
button 4
button 5
button 6
button 7
button 8
button 9

Does it mean that you can select a button to be automatically selected for the menu?
And if so, why is "button in sprm(8)" the default setting? I realize that SPRM means
System PaRaMeter, but I don't understand its context here.
