[comp.sys.handhelds] HP-28C/S and HP-48SX Infrared Remote Control?

I have seen reference to usage of the HP-28C/s and/or the HP-48SX as remote
control devices... they all seemed to say "wouldn't it be nice".  It seems to
me that since the 48 can both read and send IR signals, it is conceivable that
it could be programmed to learn the functions of one or more IR remote control
devices.  And it seems like sthe 28C/S could send IR signals that could control
things once the appropriate IR codes wer known.  Does anyone know if any of
this is possible?
