thanks again Lyndel,
i'm about to have another crack at this. now assuming i get it right this time, what is the correct way of updating the pcf file? as i have updated my remote from an rc940, i still have a lot of editing i want to do in my new pcf. so do i continue to edit and save as usual and when i need to add a new cd to the list, do i just delete the cd list from my pcf and add the new cd to the ccf file then merge the two? is it just the cd list file that needs deleting? i assume that if i don't delete it i will end up with two lists?
sorry for the 101 questions!
