Great work Greg! I went back and checked all my bugs again and can confirm they are all fixed.

I will again recommend that people check out RM-IR - it really makes it easier to manage your remote, especially if you only mess with it every six months or so.

Something 'odd' has happened to the PROTOCOLS.INI file in the ZIP package. Apart from not being up-to-date, it seems to have lost all CR/LF making it difficult to edit.

...it seems to have lost all CR/LF making it difficult to edit.

Whenever that happens, cut & paste the data into Wordpad and then paste it back into Notepad, that'll fix the line breaks.

Amazing what you learn on these forums

Try using a better editor, that understands both UNIX and DOS style files.
I really like Notepad++

I am working on incorporating the updates made using the old New folder for new protocols for protocols.ini (RM) process for updating protocols.ini
