Upload it to the Files section of the Yahoo group, I'd say!

First of all: "Firmware upgrades"? Behringer stopped all BCx2000
development several years ago, so you can forget about that.
However, if I understand you correctly, you don't need a firmware
upgrade for what you want: any BCF/BCR element (button/encoder/fader)
can send any MIDI data sequence you want (up to a maximum of about 125
bytes), via one or more ".tx" statements. You also need a ".minmax"
statement to define the range of values.
So a definition for a particular encoder could include something like:
.minmax 0 127
.tx $B0 1 val
.tx $B1 1 val
.tx $B2 1 val
(etc.)
This is (in most respects) equivalent to:
.tx $B0 1 val $B1 1 val $B2 1 val
Note that "val" refers to the actual value of the encoder.
Look under Documentation in the Files section for all the details on
the ".tx" format.
You can create these ".tx" definitions "manually" (i.e. in script
form) via Royce's script editor or in BC Manager's BCL editor.
Alternatively, if you don't want to have to study BCL (the script
language), you can use BC Manager's "custom output" tab: this takes
away most of the BCL hassle.
Mark.
