    How do I input the "<" and the ">" characters on a 31i-A5 control?

    Good afternoon.

    I have learned that on my 31i, I can have 32 character program names, but that the 32 characters must go between the "<" and the ">" characters...example <TEST_PROGRAM_32_CHARACTERS_XXXXX>

    I do not have the full QWERTY keyboard, and I an unable to find the "<" and the ">" characters on the buttons of my control.

    I have been told that if I set the Case to lower case instead of upper case, and then do a "Shift+(" that I should get the "<" character, but it did not work.

    Anyone know where or how I can input these characters, at the control?

    Thank you.

    Try lower case + shift + "[" "]" buttons.
