Is there any reason that the home panel is write protected?

It seems to be more functuional to remove the write protection.

If anyone has an experience or suggestion I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you,

Write Protecting your home panels enables a lot of automatic aliasing and home panel button creation when you are creating your .ccf from scratch with Pronto alone (no PC and ProntoEdit). It should be unchecked when you are using Prontoedit and a PC if you want to put your own buttons on the home panel and have MACROS on the home panel. See page 29 ProntoEdit user's manual.

Actually, you can create a home page with custom buttons and macros while still having the write protect enabled. To get the automatic device macros built by the Pronto or ProntoEdit, you have to have both write protection enabled *and* your first home panel has to be named "home" in all lowercase.

Leaving the write protection disabled just allows the Pronto to start up at the first panel of the first device after a reset or a new CCF is loaded.

John, I stand corrected. Write protection is 1/2 of the auto alias trigger.
