Typing special characters on the Connectivity Kit

[grsbanks]

HI all,

This is one that's been bugging me since I started using a Prime, the emulator and the Connectivity Kit (CK).

Using the CK to talk to the emulator and write/debug code makes life so much easier than having to type stuff out on the Prime's keypad, but there is one exception. Comparison operators, more specifically inequality. Trying a few things out it looks like you can use this to make things easier when trying to do a less (or greater) than or equals comparison:

Code:

IF A>=B THEN ...... END;

But what about inequality? This obviously doesn't work:

Code:

IF A!=B THEN ...... END;

...because you're testing to see if the factorial of A is equal to B. As far as I can see you need to find a way of entering the inequality character, which is not readily available on a keyboard:

Code:

IF A≠B THEN ...... END;

In order to get that I had to switch to the emulator, enter the appropriate symbol then switch back to the CK (and copy/paste it into this message).

Am I missing something obvious here?
