Hi Dave... I think I have the FFWD and REVERSE (rewind?) buttons implemented as below. I am still working on the skip-forward, skip-reverse, shuffle-mode & replay-mode features. Drop me a note if you want to try it and I'll put it up at mvpmc.org/~stuart. Otherwise, I'll keep trying to implement the skipping stuff.
