Guys,

I downloaded MX-700 programming software app, manual, + Gonk's files (thanks Gonk)

I leaning towards getting this remote. But I have a few ?'s:

1a) In the MX-700 editor if you start a new .dxf file, and search IR database under outlaw you only see 950. If you open up Gonk's file of course there is a 990 listed in the folder tree. Did you guys select the 950 and teach it the 990 commands, or does the MX-700 need to learn the 990 manually from scratch?

1b) Is it better to start programming the MX-700 from scratch or modify a guy's file?

2) Online URC vendor: Does it make a difference where I order it from? Is authorized dealer key or is a MX-700 reliable for years? any suggested vendors?

3) Macros- Can you assign a macro on the front display like "DVD": that turns on TV/990/DVD etc all the right modes dolby dig, 5.1 etc or does the macro need to be buried on a sub-menu page? (I heard you have a 5 character text limit should be OK?)

Thanks Vince
