jarmstrong,

Thanks! I have been reading and re-reading Barry Gordon's document, but I was always missing key pieces of the puzzle: the "Sharp protocol" with the frequency and timings, etc. Gee, that sure helps! ;o)

Obviously you had it or were able to find it... may I ask where/how you got a hold of these details (again, in the interest of learning something here)?

Is it something obvious? For example, I Googled "Sharp IR protocol" and got weird stuff. Or is the info lurking on this site somewhere and I just didn't find it?

Again, thanks a million!!!!
