We just bought a device from Presentation Electronics, in Rocklin, CA,
called Silent Partner.  It is a ADB device that can be programmed so that
any key in the remote can send a series of key strokes to the computer,
wait states are possible, too.  There are three "pages" of key layout
possible at one time.  It uses infrared and has a range of about 40 feet
(we've experienced better ranges).  Price: about $390.  Sorry, don't have
the number right now, but if direct. assistance can't help, write to me
and I will dig it out.  

Problem? : since it get's its power from the ADB port, you can't place it
between the keyboard and the CPU and still use the keyboard to start the
computer.  You must either start using another method, button on the back
or key, on quadras, or put it between the mouse and the keyboard.  Not
terrible...

I am just a customer of Present. Electr., nothing more, nothing less.
