Can't.
I am the 14,229th member to register at halomods. And 14229 is my lucky number.

No way...at least I don't think so...I heard it can't be done. And if it can, then why don't you help him out? Enlighten us :P .

maybe you could trick it into displaying a hex value as what that value represents

well, theoretically, it is possible to make any application display an inputed hex value as what that value represents. this works for long names because, unless you have a VERY long word, you only need a few characters to represent the name. ex. E=45 d=64 w=77 i=69 n=6E add those up to get 8E (at least, i think thay's how it's done, pretty certain)
