Consider that he may be referring to tilogo.85p (i think that's the one)
which uses the "\" for doing text graphics.  If that's the case, he will
need to generate it on a computer and put it on his calculator.  But I
suspect that he is reading the ASCII too literally, not realizing that
it is a kind of shorthand ( \->\ for the symbol off the STO> key.)
