A couple of months ago I picked up a REMOTE CONTROL program for the
28S. I don't remember who the author was but it was a neat piece.
Later I read about someone who wanted to customize it for some other
brand of TV ( the first version was for Philips ) set. What became
of it? Please post it. And if the author of the first version has
a commented version of it, i would be more than pleassed if U could
post it. BTW, I encountered a small problem with the program. I tried
to use it on a TV with teletext, and it was impossible to key in a page
with two alike figures in a row. I suppose the same problem occurres (?)
regardless of the key U use. A glance at the program tells me that the 
variable OLD has somthing to do with it.
 I hope to make  the program work on NOKIA/ITT TV's, Panasonic (Video),
Luxman (CD) and General Instruments CATV decoder( for starters). If anyone
already has accomplished any if that, or have any hints,short of getting
the tec manual for each, please let me know.
