It sounds like my reply offended you, and I didn't mean
for it to do anything even remotely like that. I apologize
if the words I chose came across in the wrong way.

No, no, no offense taken at all. I thought I was just straightforwardly answering your question. Now that I look at my first post, I see I used "it" six times...and me being so picky about words, too! I take great pains when discussing system setup and such to avoid ALL pronouns. I blew it there!! (wait -- I blew it? what it? huh?)
When
I asked "what 'it'," I was confused as to the meaning
of your sentence: "My first question is: just what products
will it control?"

Yeah, I took your question wrong. But I'm sorry I answered in such a way that I seemed offensive. Probably just me being insensitive again.
I didn't know if you realized that this was an entire
product line, so I described my best guess as to what
"it" was.

I guessed we were talking about a product line, but I hadn't seen any model numbers. And was not at all clear about saying so.
Anyway... my reply here is just to say sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah, me too!
I looks like I annoyed you, and I had absolutely no intention
to do that.

And you didn't.

And the tutorial is also off from what the MX-980 program
does for lighting, and what the MX-980 editor software
window looks like when you're putting in the address codes.
It's taking me a while to figure out how to save individual
addresses to each different lighting dimmer/switch, and
I have to use the IR database to save general buttons
for each light, then hit "custom" to enter another window
to assign an address. But I think after that, you have
to individually drag and drop each command to the remote
for each dimmer/switch, it won't automatically populate
like the IR database will.

This doesn't sound like they finished the product. Or it doesn't sound promising, take your pick.

From this I get that URC can control lighting products but doesn't have ready-made files, so we'll all have to make our own. Please tell me I misunderstood this.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
