+# This is a simple example showing how you can send a key press event
+# to XBMC in a non-queued fashion to achieve a button pressed down
+# event i.e. a key press that repeats.
+
+# The repeat interval is currently hard coded in XBMC but that might
+# change in the future.
+
+# NOTE: Read the comments in 'example_button1.py' for a more detailed
+# explanation.
