UuGgg....
Ok guys... How did I add the 'SHIFT+NEW DEVICE' to my RS15-2133
Is this feature now build-in in the new RemoteMaster software?

Please explain what "SHIFT+NEW DEVICE" means.

I think that you guys might call it a device extender so that a remote what would only have 6 devices and if your device had memory you could make it a 12 device remote...
All I know is some how I made my 15-2133 a seven device remote and now I need to change the devices and don't remember how I did this....

I'm still a little foggy on exactly what it is you're asking, so maybe it would be a good idea to post your IR file in the Diagnosis Area and explain with examples. (and PLEASE post a link to the file).
As Requested... Please Help?!?

Rob as your requested I have uploaded my current 15-2133 file...
Currently it is the "CD" key toggles [shifts by pressing the device key, setup key twice, number one, and then the device key again] between being a 'HOME/X-10' control or a 'Toshiba VHS VCR code 0061'
What I would like to do is to be able to add such toggle to other keys.... so that I can control more devices.
Since I set this up on the remote I have had to reformat my harddrive twice and thought that I had all the files needed.
But what I have downloaded states that I will loose the learning on the remote and I do not want to loose learning!
I would also like to add this to other remotes such as the RCA810, HTPro

You're not "losing the learning" as you can always save your working (extended) configuration with IR, load up a basic (non-extended) configuration, learn the codes you want, do what you need to do with those codes (create an upgrade or a KeyMove) and then load the extended version back into the remote with IR.
Imagine that your remote is a camera and the extender is a special lens. Just because you fit a telephoto lens does not mean that you "lose" those wide shots - you just have to be prepared to change lenses. Same with IR and JP1 - download, backup, upload - you won't break anything (just be sure to store the lenses somewhere safe).

Sounds like you are useing phantom dev keys. I do this with 6131 myself. I put extra tv code as dev 7 and extra vcr code as dev 8 then tv key is one tv and shift tv is another tv, and vcr is one vcr and shift vcr is another.

By use of extender. If you extend the 2133 it will be 8 instead of 6 device remote. In the 2133 the 2 extra is aux and aux2, Put the code on them and shift to whatever key you want.

Is there anyway to load/overlay my current setup files into the extended version? To just add the extra two aux buttons?
{tick tock a few hours latter and finding exinstall.exe over at yahoo! I edited this message}
OK I think that I got the extender installed...
...only trouble is that I have lost two learned key.....
I feel that maybe this thread should now be moved to another area of the forum?
But I will ask a few more questions..
Could you post a copy of a device move macro so that I can see how it should look??
And since using the extender I have loss my vol punch through how do I reenable this feature using macros???
I am at a loss here as reading the text files seem to be like reading greek not geek...
{tick tock a few hours latter! I again edited this message}
Ugg!! All I really want is to add two more devices to my 15-2133 and RCU810's
Maybe I just do not understand the way that macros should work..
...but the loss of the VPT.... is too much....
