JP1 Remotes

[WagonMaster]

While testing the new RMIR version today, I ran into what I think must be a bug in the macro programming or reading code.

It's easy to duplicate:

1. Run RMIR v1.97. (I'm running it on Linux, but I doubt that matters.)
   
2. Select a clean, baseline load for your remote control. I'm using a "virgin" load on a Radio Shack 15-135 remote.
   
3. Go to the "Macros" tab/page and program a simple macro on the "Audio" button. That is, select the "New" pushbutton, use "Audio" for the "Bound Key", "Key:" selection, select "TV" under the "Available keys:" selection, then select the "Add" pushbutton to define this simple, silly, for-demo-only, 1-key macro.
   
4. Upload that to the RS 15-135 remote.
   
5. Download from the remote and you'll see that the macro definition is now corrupted with approximately 243 "XShift-phantom4" keys added to the end of the macro!
   

I tried this with other keys for both the "Bound Key" and the actual keys in the macro itself and the problem is still there.

Here's the tail-end of the '.rmir' file saved with the macro programming, before downloading from the remote:

Thanks for the bug report. It's in the code for storing the macro length into the remote image, for remotes that use the LONG advanced code bind format.
