Dave meant the value of the IRBUTTON variable.

When developing software, sometimes you want to monitor what's happening INSIDE the PIC. Like Variables, Register, etc. The debatable lazy way is to use Simulator, but it doesn't solve any real life problem. So what many here do, is to send/display variables value on a LCD... or send it serially to your PC using Hyperterminal, MicroCode Studio Serial Communicator OR else so called "Terminal". If you have a PICKIT 2, you can use the built-in terminal utility.

To me, when you do PIC stuff, you should have at least the following tools:
1) Serial adapter To send/receive data to/from your PC AND/OR LCD (serial or Parallel)
2) Logic Analyzer
3) Scope

For IR stuff, using a logic analyzer to record the incoming data make the whole thing a real piece of cake. You could also record the data with your PC soundcard with any decent Wav/Audio editor (SoundForge, Audacity, etc). Once you know what kind of signal comes in (or to be expected), it's easier to create/debug your code.
