Help with Pronto Remote

Hello I have a Pronto RC5000 remote which is at least ten years old and have just drafted it out of mothballs to be used in my HT.
It seems to be working fine except I do not know how to write a macro.
The guide booklet said that the macro has to be active before I can write a Macro and I forget how to do it.

It's a funny thing...memory that is....I do remember that this was a n issue when I first purchased the Pronto however I did find the answer.
Does anyone out there still have this remote? and can I get some help...please.

I am currently selling my MX3000 b/c I want something more simple to program such as the Pronto 5000.

I appreciate any assistance.
P.S. Does anyone have an opinion as to a good universal remote that is equal to the Pronto 5000 for reliability and programing?
What about Logitech? What model? Can it be used with a Mac to program
Also is there a way I can program the Pronto with a mMac with not to much trouble?

Sorry for all of the questions.
