First, I want to thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
I have no problem with your explanation of the ignition code
programming. Let's forget about that. My real problem is with the
keyless entry system.

I have spent a great deal of time searching for information regarding
remote control programming for the 2003 Honda Accord EX. So far I
have found zip. There are lots of procedures for other Hondas and
earlier Hondas, but nothing regarding 7th generation Accords. All of
the procedures I have found have the same procedure (the 'dance' as
you call it.) So, taking your advice, I attempted to program my
remotes using the procedure from these other Hondas. So far, I have
tried it 4 times, and there is absolutely no response from the car.

I did see in the Honda Security Systems Owner's Manual printed in 2002
that it shows, "Remote Control Code Programming (Only vehicles not
equipped with Standard Keyless Entry System." I don't know how to
interpret that. I would say that my Accord came equipped with a
standard keyless entry system, but it may mean something else. All I
know is that the programming instructions in these early manuals does
not work in my car.

Something else I ran across was something in my 2003 Owner's Manual
that states, "If you lose a transmitter, you will need to have the
replacement programmed to your car's system by your Honda dealer. Any
other transmitters you have will also need to be reprogrammed." This
seems to contradict what you told me earlier.

What would be most helpful to me now would be to point me to a site
that has remote entry progamming instructions for a 7th generation
Accord EX.
