Hi Dale,

Thanks very much for your reply.

Oh, no! I was hoping to be able to do the hex entry as C3 09 F3, rather than #C3h, #09h, #F3h. Well, too bad for me, I guess. Lots more typing than I hoped, unless I can figure out how to enter two character strings and do the conversion myself.

Thanks,
smp

Why not a short program that puts the Prime in alpha mode then starts an input loop allowing you to enter the characters as you wish? The characters can then be converted to hex integers in the manner of Fortin's post above.
