It's the other script, as described in 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/142951#142951 .

Keeping them together, this time, here is the updated (handles spaces) 
prompt_for_media script and the prompt script again.  (Also took the 
movemouse script call out of prompt_for_media--forgot to take it out of 
the updated version I posted.  It's a script I wrote to "move the mouse" 
after running external programs to work around a focus issue with myth 
child windows.  See 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/82722#82722 for details.)

All instructions for setting up and using these scripts and explanations 
of how they work are in the original post:  
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/142951#142951

Glad to see someone is interested enough to test this out..  :)  I hope 
you find it useful.
