A couple of ideas:

- maybe there's a pause in the instructions which might be making things seem unresponsive on the first press?

- maybe this snippet is useful:

"When you place a link to other buttons (either other macro or function) on a device page, only the functions for that device will work. On the prontoNEO it is not possible to set or link functions for other devices on a device page.

For example if you link a macro containing actions for the TV and the VCR, and set the link on the TV page, only the actions for the TV will be carried out.
If the actions in the macro are mixed, and of more then one device, the link will probably lock-up, and emit a beep."
