Return lines except those with starting with #, A and *

OS: RHEL 5.8

I have a text file like below

Code:
$ cat mylist.txt
# Multiple entries starting June 1, 2013
#
#
#AGENT
TOUK1TOY1
TOUK1GTF1
ROUK1MET1
TOUK1GTF
TOUK2TOY1
TOUK2GTF
EOUK2GTF1
WOUK1RTO
TOUK1RTO1
GOUK2RTO
KOUK2RTO1
TOUK3RTO
TOUK3RTO1
# *
# *
AGENT
# *
MOUK3TOY
*
TOUK1MET
YOUK1TOY
JOUK2TOY

I want only those lines to be returned which don't start with the characters # , A, or *.

So, my expected output will be
Code:
TOUK1TOY1
TOUK1GTF1
ROUK1MET1
TOUK1GTF
TOUK2TOY1
TOUK2GTF
EOUK2GTF1
WOUK1RTO
TOUK1RTO1
GOUK2RTO
KOUK2RTO1
TOUK3RTO
TOUK3RTO1
MOUK3TOY
TOUK1MET
YOUK1TOY
JOUK2TOY

Any idea how I can do this?

NAME
irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands SYNOPSIS
irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
