I used his file below just fine for a RS 15-2114 remote (6-in-1).  I'm away
from my home machine so I can't give much detail, but you need to sign up
for the 
JP1 Yahoo group that the file below comes from.  From there you'll have
access
to plenty of documentation and the proper software you need to upload this
file
to the remote.  I think I recall it's Key Master (??) that you open the file
with (some
java program).  That will allow you to tweak the buttons to your liking (his
file was a
little off because my remote isn't the exact same model).  Then there will
be 
generated code in that program you can cut & paste into ir.exe for uploading
to your remote.  (Backup your remote by downloading it first!)  This is from
memory so hopefully
someone else will chime in if I'm wrong or not detailed enough.
