Mark,
Thanks for posting this. I've been trying to figure out how to do that, but I
don't know enough about the IR messages and baud control of BrickOS to do it
myself.

I don't know if this is printed anywhere, but here's some more info about the
Spybot remotes:
"in addition to the channels 1, 2 and 3, there are
three more channels 4, 5 and 6 (which you select in Setup mode by holding
down the lower left buttion (SHIFT) when pressing the normal channel buttons"
so, you can have SIX people running trains at the same time.
You may want to make the changes, and try this out to see if it works with your
stuff.
Thanks again for posting it.
Steve
