Well Peter, I should ahve said that what you did should work IF I WROTE 
THE CODE RIGHT!!!  :)  I just fixed a bug that will solve this problem.  
If you look closely at the message sent to ECS when you press OK on the 
Button Config window, you will notice that there should be 1 more comma 
before the '1' at the end.  Without this additional comma, the '1' at the 
end is not the monitor flag, but the state number.  

Client version 1.1.3 is now on the web page.  Let me know if this solves 
your problem.
