  Don´t forget to support this project if you are satisfied with it.
  
  First klick on configuration (Konfiguration) - then add an PlugIn -
  choose Generic HID for your Apple remote.
  
  By clicking some of the keys of the remote, eventghost now shows the
  keyentries of them.
  
  Build a new macro belonging to emulated keyboard entry (Emulierte
  Tastatureingabe) and choose (for example) LEFT. Now drag and drop the
  Keyentry of your remote to the new macro and the key on the remote is
  now connected to this new event.
  
  I connected the LEFT key and the RIGHT key to the LEFT arrow and the
  RIGHT arrow of apples remote. Now it is possible to use the remote to
  control the power point presentation. Be aware that you have to start
  eventghost manually or drop it into yout autostart directory. Without
  it running in the background, the system can only work with the
  predifined remote actions!
