I'm wondering if it's possible to use Flirc to type a lengthy key sequence (a 72 "letter" sentence) with one remote button press. My objective is to emulate a special factory service remote button.
A keyboard attached to the TV appears to enable me to do everything I can with the remote control, so it seems feasible that if Flirc can be programmed to send an arbitrary sequence of HEX codes to the TV, I should be able to emulate the factory service remote's special keys. Converting the HEX codes to ASCII reveals the lengthy sequence I want to emulate has several non-alphabetic characters, so I can't simply use the keyboard to do this job, and am hoping I can use Flirc instead.

Your help is appreciated!
