the AMX Database cannot be edited.
Values from other hand controls can be cut or copied and then pasted into any one of the
255 function slots.
After you have made all of your changes you can export your .IRL hand control file. See
Exporting IR Files on page 34 for more details.
Double-click on any .IRL file within the Navigator window to open and populate the
Properties and IR Document windows.
