===========================================================


	A friend of mine came up with this idea:


1. Build an IR-link sender/reciever.


2. Take a remote control from any TV and point it at the reciever of the
IR link on the calculator.


3. Hit a key on the remote and somehow have the IR-link record the imput
it gets from the remote.


4. The IR-Link on the calculator could then reproduce the signal.


5. This would create a sort of universal remote.


6. A program could be set up like this:


======================================================


Menu:
1. TV remote
2. VCR remote
3. TV at office remote


Then after the selection was made another list would follow:
ex. if "1" was pressed you would have a list of options to send out of
the calc IR link.


=========================================================


The key would be having a Z-shell program to record and interpret the
signals revieved from remotes etc.


I have no experience in this type of matter at all. Anyone can take up
this project, just let me know. I will do this by myself or with help if
no one else wants to do it. I just need some plans for an IR-Link. Tell
me what you think.


Thanks.
