Noticed you guys talking about your Palm recorders. I have been thinking of
getting one, however I know nothing about them. What can they do....what do
they cost....and what should I look for in one?

There is such a program. It is called IR monitor. It measures both the
presence and strength of the IR signal as well. I also have one for my
IIIe/VII that is called Omniremote. It allows you to design a layout for a
remote and program the buttons you create on your screen using the original
remote control. Your Palm then can control the device. Both work great and
are WELL worth the little amount it costs to register them. Only limitation
to both programs is that the internal IR of a palm is NOT all that powerful,
remotes for IR monitor are best put right up next to it, and with Omniremote
you usually have to be within 2 feet of the device you are trying to
control.

Subject: [TechAssist] Remote control tester for the Palm IIIe
Hi everyone,
I've been off the lists for a couple weeks, with some major computer
problems. Hope everyone is doing well.
I'm wondering if anyone has heard of a program for the Palm IIIe, that lets
it check infra-red remotes? This would add to the functionality of an
already great tool.
I carry one with me all the time. it's invaluable for storing info for
retrieval on the fly. It has a IR port, to allow syncing with other PDA's. I
even saw a program for one of the older ones, that would allow the PDA to be
used as a remote control.
Thanks,
