If you have a PCF that you want to use or even if starting from scractch, I believe the first thing you should do is create a device for your IRcodes (name is something like IRcodes). Now create a page in this device for every piece of equipment that you will use that has a remote. Lets say your first page is for your TV, you will need to put a button on that page for every button on your remote. You can make two pages if you need, just label them TV1 and TV2. The buttons you put on these pages don't have to be anything fancy as they are only going to be used as a holding place for your IR codes that can be linked to. Once you get all your remotes placed in your IRcode device download the PCF to the remote. Now use the remote to remote learning feature and learn the IR code for each corresponding button. Once you have learned them, test them out to make sure they do the command they are suppose to. Now upload from the remote to the computer software PENG. Now you can start designing your layout. You can make a device called TV. Then create a page in the TV device and design the layout with the buttons that you need to control your TV. These buttons now can linked to the IRcodes TV page so that they will function. You can create macros that will do several things at one time by linking to more that one IRcode.

Look at other peoples pcf's and study how they are laid out, how they create links, how they jump to another page, and etc.

Don't worry about making it fancy at first, just get it so that it functions the way that you want, then you can start on the fancy buttons and pictures.
