No problem :)

Yes, I found them after a more in depth look.. I need to remove my APC 
coloured glasses :)

OK, well I can test patches, try and debug etc..

It seems the command is being sent, eg..
1436                                    shut_set_report(hData.ReportID, 
raw_buf, replen);
(gdb)
entering shut_set_report(id: 13, len: 02)
entering shut_packet_send (8)
sent: (11 bytes) => 01 88 21 09 13 03 00 00 02 00 3A
shut_wait_ack(): ACK received
Set2: (2 bytes) => 13 01
entering shut_packet_send (2)
sent: (5 bytes) => 81 22 13 01 12
shut_wait_ack(): ACK received
1450                                    return STAT_SET_HANDLED;
(gdb) print hData.Value
$7 = 1
(gdb) print hData.ReportID
$8 = 19 '\023'
(gdb) print raw_buf
$9 
= "\023\001á\0002á\0002¡\000\205\001\t%\t\037u\b\225\002\025\000&ÿ\000e\000U\000±\003\006ÿÿ\tM\2054%d\225\001±\202\005\205\205\005\t\213\t,

(gdb) print replen
$10 = 2

However I haven't worked out how to decode that yet :)
