I'm afraid not...

But you can use Message codes.

I've set up a system for up to 5 RCX's.

It goes like this.

Each RCX gets a constant set.

#define RCX# 0  // 0 to 4 are valid

Then for each message the takes the code and adds RCX# to it.

The above RCX would react to 1,6,11,16 etc.
RCX 1 would react to 2,7,12,17 etc.

You can set up to about 50 commands this way.

I know it's not what you wanted. But it's a possibility.
