Great! Do you have a small snippet of code you could send me that shows how
to do that?

It should work with anything, but for now, let's say a CD player.

I don't know. Are there protocols for something that is just broadcast?
I want to be able to learn signals and then reproduce them. I went to
Pacific Neo-Tek's web page. They said that they were going to be releasing
something that would allow developer's to use their code in new
applications. I signed up to be notified when it's available, but months
have gone by. So I need to start investigating how to do this myself.
Any sample code on:
1. How remote signals can be learned
2. How learned signals can be broadcast
would be greatly appreciated!! (Pointers to documentation would be good,
too.)
Tom
