sendir is causing flirc to execute commands - I thought it was an emitter?

[crawfish]

I read that Flirc can act as an emitter, and sendir is the way to do it. However, I've found that using sendir causes Flirc to execute on the PC whatever command is bound to the sent code. That's cool, but it's not what I want. I just want it to send the IR code, basically to "forward" it.

Also, when I turned on IR debugging, pressing a single key on my remote caused several lines of output, and passing any one of them to sendir works to execute the command on my PC, e.g. "Enter", "Right arrow", etc. For example, this is the output for pressing the Enter key on my remote:

I don't know what the other lines are for.

Can you explain to me the proper use of sendir?

The emitter and receiver in Flirc are just millimetres apart, so the receiver is probably picking up the signal from the emitter. There is no (official) command line switch to disable the receiver during the sendir.
