I was recently given a Universal Remote (not one that 'learns' other remotes)
with no documentation.  Hence, I can't figure out how to program the thing.
There is a sticker in the battery compartment with a bunch of numbers and
what appears to be a model number:  UR 111 PIP.

The only markings on the front of the remote are the three letters PIP.
It has a three postion switch marked CBL/VCR/TV.  There are also some
unusual buttons on the keypad:  PIP SWAP, PIP FREEZE, PIP POSITION.

Internally, there is just two chips - both made by Motorola.

If anyone knows ANYTHING about this particular remote, I would greatly
appreciate hearing from you.  All hints and suggestions as to how I go
about programming this remote for my particular VCR/TV would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks!
