Can you reassign the Apple Remote keys?

Hello!

Since i'm always using my MBP, and always listening to iTunes it seems, I am enjoying my Apple Remote! Unfortunately, while the "iPod Shuffle" keys work with iTunes as you'd expect, the Menu button only opens Front Row, which Isn't very useful when I'm actually using the machine for something other than just music. Is there some way to re-assign this key to say, open iTunes, or bring it to the front window?

Thanks
