Wow. I had that thing working in less time than it will take to write  
this (once I got my head out of my...).

That thing is the very definition of "Just Works".

Of course out of 11 possible codes it was the tenth one I tried, but  
that's just Murphy's Law.

Now to take the batteries out of the real remote so nobody can hose  
me that way.

I'll write up something to go in the WiKi about this.

Thanks again, a great device.
