Each brand will have their own code for the IR signals.  One of the most
popular is the Sony IR remote.  Don Roy (http://www3.sympatico.ca/donroy)
has published some code that will do the job for Sony.  It looks like you
are using a Stamp so you should be able to use it.

You can see a copy of the code by researching his past newsletters (I
recommend getting his newsletter if you are into hobby robotics).  I have
also put a copy of the code on my site at
