Get the updated code from here:
http://www.ifirobotics.com/rc.shtml#Programming
Download the 2006 default code, included is a ZIP file with the default code for the new controller, instructions for converting it to run on the 2004/2005 controllers, which are good to run through as a basic project as well.
To do the master update, select the FRC_MASTER_V12.BIN file in IFI Loader, make sure the OI/RC are tethered and both connected to stable power (Wall warts and such). IFI Loader will automatically switch to Master update mode and warn you not to disconnect anything and such, it makes it seem kind of scary, but as long as you don't have a complete power failure during the update, or trip over anything and knock it out, you're clear.
I'd recommend updating to Master Code 12, then converting the Default Code to run on previous controllers (there's a .txt file in the ZIP detailing that process as well) and getting that to run, then saving the whole directory. Good way to get started.
Let me know if you need any other help.
