Thanks for the response!

Yeah, that's how I'm doing it, it's better than using a keyboard, but
just barely.  I've got about 15 different remotes around here, so if I
can't get it working any other way, I might just ditch it and use
another one (I've got all of them working except this one, and of
course, this one is one of the cooler ones).

Thanks,
