Ok, Setting up my pronto, everything is great...

I came accross something, I swore I thought I could do with the Pronto.

I have one macro set up.

I want to simply assign a button on one of my device pages to this macro, ie when I press power, I want everything to power up.

Simply assigning a macro to a soft button.

This is very confusing, what a great little OS, but it bothers me as something so simple.

Hopefully Im wrong, and havent found it in the manual. But I assume this is somthing the software will allow for, at least hope.

I guess the reason I think I could do this is from the 'user tips' section on the Pronto Main page

Quoted

"Assign a hard macro button: In addition to assigning a macro to the on-screen soft buttons,
you can also use MUTE, CHAN UP/DOWN and VOLUME UP/DOWN. The macro assigned
will only be valid for that particular Macro Group, and only while in the Macro Menu. You
cannot select the LEFT or RIGHT buttons, as they are already assigned control functions. "



Any thoughts/suggestions?

Jesse,

Not to worry. I have eben spending my free moments on the software and as such I'm not sure about how to do in the "manual" method. I can say for sure that it's cake using the software so if you can't sort it out the manual way, know that you will do easily via the software.

Jesse: You want to assign a macro to, say, the Power button on the VCR component screen? Can't be done yet. As Jack says, you will be able to do it with a forthcoming software package.
