Do you mean from within Brightscript? If so, it's undocumented (and possibly unimplemented). Roku has been providing the Native Development Kit which gives access to the bt remote features, but not publicly: (quoting from the bottom of the FAQ at roku.com/developer)
....Games like Angry Birds that make use of the GPU (graphics processor) and OpenGL on the Roku 2 need to be developed using the Roku Native Development Kit (NDK). The Roku NDK allows a game developer to port their existing game to Roku, rather than develop the game in Brightscript. The NDK is not yet public so please contact us at partners@roku.com if you are interested.

I did notice a response in roCanvas to the A/B buttons. I belive the codes were 17/18.

I hit that before, those buttons were crashing my app.
It would be nice to actually use the gaming remote as a real mouse.
