Okay, I think I know why I did not think it was working.

After editing the cutlist, the "prev" and "next" keys still jump to the
original commerical skip list, and do not seem to pay attention to the
edited cutlist.  If I just let the show play, then it does seem to skip
based on the edited cutlist.

Is there a reason the "prev"/"next" keys don't use the edited cutlist?
Note that I have not done this recently, so the observation may not apply
to the current CVS.

Thanks,
