Thank you Steve.

I agree, Macro's may need to be differentiated when programming. But when using the remote there should be no need to ever know a macro even exists. A Macro page makes no sense when using the remote. Task page yes, Activity Page yes, Device Page yes, Macro Page (or group) makes no sense.

My guess is, until I get my hands on a Pronto is that a Macro group is just a menu of related items that execute other buttons. They might represent just one IR code that gets executed. But they are implemented as Macros. Perhaps the only problem is they perhaps should of called them a Menu Page or Activity Page (but since they are implemented as Macro's and the user is often the programmer they stuck with the term Macro page). Strange though that they had to limit these "Macro pages" to 5 buttons (perhaps to make it look like a simple menu).

Am I making sense Pronto owners (considering I don't have one yet)?
