"However, included in the calculator package, you should find an overlay which shows the
programming functions. This is designed to be placed on the top surface of the calculator and
left in place for the life of the calculator. If you are interested in programming the calculator,
you will need to place the overlay on your keyboard before getting started."

Try contacting support with that nugget.

Sorry if my earlier post was misleading.

Nice -- a smoking gun! I don't remember if I noticed this in the user guide at the time, and if so, whether I tried arguing this angle with the representative on the phone. He was a nice enough guy, and clearly wanted to help me if he could, but just didn't know where to start -- most of his calls were probably about laptop hardware issues or printer drivers, not cheap plastic overlays for $30 calculators.

(And no, your earlier post was not at all misleading!)
