In order to get a new system operational I need to do the following.

In button properties I need to add a "learned command" to an existing button which is easy but it wipes out all the existing items in the field. What I need to do is add some newly created links before the learned item not after it. Is it possible to do this maybe by rearranging the order of the items. I cannot see how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Peter.

When you add the command, it should not wipe out the existing entries. The new command should simply appear as the last item on the list of "normal actions" in the Button Properties window, Action tab. You then select the item by clidking on it and move it up or down using the little arrow buttons to the right of the list window. To add your learned command, click on "Add IR Code" or, preferably, "Create Link". This action should not wipe anything out. The best way to handle learned codes is to learn them to dummy buttons on a separate IR code page and then link to them. If you handle all your IR codes in this manner, you will save yourself a lot of time and aggravation later on. All of the experienced Pronto programmers use this technique.

mburwin, thank you for responding.
When I learn a new command to an existing button it wipes out all the old commands for that button and I can only add commands after the learned command and not before it. This gives me the incorrect order of events.
The reason for this whole thing is as follows. I tried learning the command to a dummy button and when I press this button on the iPronto the command is executed correctly and the desired function is correct. Howver when I link to this button with a delay both before and after it, it functions differently. It appears to carry out the command either twice or very slowly or for too long a time. The effect of this is that it transfers input 1 to input 2 and then back to input 1. If I directly press the dummy button it transfers 1 to 2 which is correct. I thought that if I "learned" the command directly it would operat correctly.

If you want to send me your icf, I'll take a look. My email address is in my profile. It should not matter if you use a link or learn to your ultimate button. Something else is going on that is not obvious from your description.
