The buttons "1", "2" & "3" send a IR message to the RCX. The RCX must be
running a program that will respond to one or more of those messages.
The A, B, C buttons will activate the RCX outputs forward or reverse. This
requires only the installed firmware and the brick in the "on" mode.
Program buttons 1 through 5 will start any one of the installed programs.
The "stop" button  will end the active program. The button with the speaker
symbol will cause the RCX to beep. This assures IR contact with the RCX.

I have a couple of questions about the remote control that comes with the
Ultimate Accessory Kit.  I am assuming it is the same one that can be
purchased on its own (#9738).

At http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/9738 there is a jpeg image of the remote
control that indicates there are 5 program keys (P1 through P5).  And at
http://www-control.eng.cam.ac.uk/sc10003/addon.html#remote_control it says
that these keys "can also send messages".  Can you, for example, download
more than one program to it so that you can change the programs on the RCX
when it is away/out of range from the computer/IR tower?  There seems to • be
similar buttons (1, 2, 3 and A, B, C) as found on the RCX.  What else is • it
capable of?

Thanks for any help.

Laura

(...) It also works with the Scout - except that A & B drive the motors and the C buttons turn on the red LED. I havn't quite figured out what the P1..P5 buttons do - they evidently activate some of the built-in functionality - but I can't be (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
