(e-mail wouldn't go)
Radio Shack sells an IR remote control that can "clone" several such
devices so that if you have multiple IR-controlled devices, you only 
need one "God stick."  I think it is programmed directly by the other
controllers via its own IR receiver.

Byte magazine published details of a similar device a few years 
ago in "Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar."  Can't provide exact reference.
