Jan:

Am I to understand that you helped to develop this remote? Or at least are you able to answer this question: I would like to know what you can (eventually) use the RS-232 port for? Namely, is it just to program IR commands from a PC's database, or does it offer more flexibility, such as allowing new templates to be created and uploaded from a PC, or, even better yet, for those of us that are computer science oriented, to actually write our own user interface for the remote, and upload it?
