Now that I have all the component pages of my remote file completed, I thought I'd build some basic macros (i.e. Watch TV). So, I started putting some commands in the "Alias" column. However, when looking at the available codes from within the Alias window, I noticed that most of the IR codes are identified by a cryptic code, rather than a name I can understand. For example, instead of seeing "SAT: POWER OFF", I see "ID9421".

How in the world will I ever be able to tell if I'm putting the correct aliases into my macro? I can't imagine URC would have done this, so I have to believe I'm doing something wrong here.

How do I set the system so I can see the plain-English description of the codes, such as what I saw when I assigned an IR code to a button?

Never mind...I just realized I have to put in a name for each IR command, even if I don't display the name.

If you select the button you want to use for the alias macro and then select record macro (red button). Now you can use the window on the left to navigate (tree out the device) and select the page that has the button you want to alias to. Select that button and it will show up in the macro window along the bottom in the alias column. Repeat as needed for other buttons or devices and then select the stop macro button (black square). You can add delays, sounds, jumps or variables as you go or just insert them after you finish all the aliasing.

Hope this helps,
Ken
