Currently, I have to save the program to the virtual calculator, open the saved program in edit mode on the virtual calculator, insert the special character using the "char" key on the virtual calculator, send the program back to the connectivity kit, refresh the program on the connectivity, and continue with programming. That is a lot of work just to type one special character.

I agree it's frustrating. My workaround is to keep a Word document with my most-often used Prime characters in it, and whenever I need one, just swap that window forward, copy the desired character, swap back to the Connectivity Kit, and paste the character. Not optimal, but still only a few keystrokes.
