Are you talking about in a list ?
My remote does that as well but its by design ...
If I push the 5 button 2 times it will jump down to J, 3 times K, 4 times L
You might be able to turn that off but I'm not sure

Thanks but I got that fixed. I just need to remap those 4 buttons then I'm done.

It's not clear to me where I'm supposed to put this.
The guide here discusses keyboard.xml but doesn't explain how to map remote control keys. Another site speaks of lircmap.xml buts its outdated and file locations are wrong (and possibly other info as well).
Which files do I need to edit and what do I place in them?
Thanks.

Thanks for the links. I'll have a look at that in the coming days.

Appreciate your help but this is becoming very frustrating.
So this relationship ... I read the other link from that guide as well, you said "xbmc sends the EjectTray() COMMAND which is tied to the star NAME which is tied to the OpenClose BUTTON on the remote".
So to put in order, my remote sends a code which is given a name in Lircmap.xml, this name is given a command in remote.xml for Xbmc to execute.
Lircmap.xml is now:
<lircmap>
<remote device="devinput">
<Power>KEY_SLEEP</Power>
<menu>KEY_DVD</menu>
<hash>KEY_NUMERIC_POUND</hash>
<star>KEY_NUMERIC_STAR</star>
</remote>
</lircmap>
In remote.xml:
<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<hash>NextSubtitle</hash>
<star>AudioNextLanguage</star>
<menu>CodecInfo</menu>
</remote>
</global>
</keymap>
Needless to say its still not working.

Correct, that has changed.
Lircd.conf contains:
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput
First few lines of that file are:
# generated by devinput.sh
begin remote
name devinput
