Scott, The issue is not with learning IR codes from an existing remote, it is with entering raw Pronto Hex Codes. These are codes that exist neither in the LogiTech provided list of commands for my AV receiver nor as any 'button' on the AV remote, so there is no source remote to 'learn' the codes from. My only source is for these hex codes is in the Excel spreadsheet (read ASCII text).
This is a functionality that exists in the PC version of concordance where I can 'cut-and-paste' the raw hex codes from the spreadsheet when prompted by concordance which then kindly uploads them to my LogiTech list of available commands. (I've done this on a PC with a handful of the approximately 50 codes I want to add for my AV receiver.) Sorry if I was not clear.
