I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to add a greek alphabet to the list of virtual keyboard choices? I'm taking engineering classes at the moment and love using my clie to take notes(less i have to lug up the hill every day ;) ) but seeing as almost all of the notes I need to take are symbolic equations using greek symbols its cuts back on the clie's note taking usefullness. So if anyone has any suggestions I'm more then happy to hear.
Thanks in advance :)

I used to have the same problem and never really knew of a fix for it, unfortunately.

Don't you love the way that your engineering equations can very quickly have more greek letters than english letters? But back to the point, no, I have not seen anything to help with that

Although not exactly what you're looking for, here's something you might want to try: If you install WonderSilk/Kinumaru, the skins that are designed for the Japanese version of the Clie include multiple virtual keyboards. Although two of them are for Hiragana & Katakana, and will display "rubish" on a non-Japanese Clie, one of the virtual keyboards is just a list of ascii characters, as far as I can remember, with arrows to let you scroll in the list. You'd be able to display and type those greek characters you're looking for, even if this is definitely not a very efficient way to do it. The problem is that at the moment, it doesn't display all the character set, only part of it (from 0x20h to 0xDFh) plus additionnal characters which are useless for us (Kanji/Kana in the 0x8140h-0xFCFFh range).
One good idea would be to request from the developer a special English keyboard with (all) the ascii characters added to the other western-type virtual keyboards, now that there is an English version of Wondersilk! I'll try to ask him that and let you know if there's any positive reply...
