By "use alpha" do you mean lock the alpha on? You can take what they type in and convert it to letters without them having to press alpha(I did that a lot with getkey in a cypher program I wrote)
In any case, what you have works fine, and could be somewhat easier for someone less experienced with the calc. However, the only character that isn't on the calc alpha is -. Is that what you mean by supported chars? Or do you mean pushing keys with symbols you don't support? If you mean that, you could just have the calculator display nothing if they push some key that you don't support. I, did this in my program using the getkey function.
Edit: would you mind making your posts a little more clear?
