I'm not at all that certain the RCX can actually listen to the remote. If I

I can't find the info on their website now, but if seem to remember the first
IR-Link sensor mindsensors produced for the NXT could communicate with PF

Before you start worrying something may be wrong with your RCX, we should get
someone to confirm this can actually be done,
