YES... that's exactly what I wanted to ask for.. you where a bit faster 
:-)
Most time I use a compact IR-Keyboard (and a programmable IR which I 
learned the Keyboard-Codes) and I have none of the Alphabetic keys 
assigned to the Remote (TAB is Menu, Backspace is Back, Enter is OK and 
the Pos1/PgUp/PgDn/End-Keys [last vertical row at the right] are the 
colours). So the most obvious way to enter Text would be to use the 
Keyboard...

Well... since there is no hierarchical structure for the recordings 
(yet... :-).. if I'd like to have all SciFi, Western, Drama, Comedy, 
Erotic-Movies... appear together in the list, the only way to get them 
sorted somehow is to change the names and put things like "SF:", "WES:", 
"DRA:", "COM:" and "ERO:"... in FRONT. And here comes the biggest 
drawback in the current editing-mechanism: NO way to INSERT or (in the 
middle) delete text. So you have to cut it all away with "^" and then 
re-enter the whole stuff again with the Genre-marker in front.
