Happy New Years Eve all!!!

Having loads of fun with my TSU3000. I love the pretty blue display.

The only omission I really, really wish the ProntoEdit software had, is the ability to add comments of some kind... for instance, the ability to label devices by their full name ("Pioneer VSX-D509S Receiver", etc), so I can tell which devices I actually programmed my Pronto for, and of course little comment labels attached to action steps or device groups, to remind me of specific tricks and techniques I had to employ to get those functions working just right... (which I know I will forget a month from now).

Well, if anybody knows a clever way to insert comments, by all means, please let this silly dog know!!! :)

P.S. I do know I can create long device names, it's just that the auto device-menu doesn't like them, and of course the auto property page tabs don't either...

ProntoDog,
the only way I could think of, is to create labels (whatever size) which can be placed somewhere, where they do not disturb, maybe even out of the screen or under a graphic. You can then put comments in by multi-line-labelling them. Select fontsize none and nothing will be visible. To check your comments, simply check the properties of the label. Since I use fullscreen graphics (for backgrounds) quite a lot, I would simply put them under the background.
Just a thoughts

Hehe,
you're so right. I still haven't quite recovered from the "no-long-button-presses-bug" which rendered all my macros useless.
