I should have been more clear on this.  I know PIP means Picture In Picture,
but in this case, I feel that PIP is the manufacturers name.  PIP is
emblazoned in large letters on the bottom right corner of the remote
(and nothing else; no other name).  It is also part of the model #: 
PIP URC 111.  It looks like your typical URC with a TV/VCR/CBL switch.

It is meant to be programmable, but not by another remote (it doesn't learn
other remotes).  I think it has a directory of known remotes permanently
stored, and the user pages through this directory to find one that works
with his/her equipment.  I just don't know the key combinations to press
to program the thing.  I believe this is the way that the One for All (?)
universal remote works.
