This means that the IR port on your mac responds to standard IR code for consumer electronics, the so-called RC5 code, developed by Philips. Almost all remotes use it. Tables for RC5 code exist. I'm sure that a search for 'RC5' and 'code' will give some info. Very likely, you can assign some unused/less-used code to both the remote and the Mac, to let the mac do some custom tricks (check mail, for example) -mart -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
