On the big X10, using the Android keyboard, press '?123' to go to the numbers screen, press 'Alt' and the underscore is just to the right of centre of the second row down.  With the Standard keyboard, the underscore is also in the numbers screen, just under the '8'.

Hope this answers your question.

when the keyboard is in the number mode, select the 1st left button on the 2nd row of the keyboard, from the bottom.

Afraid I don't have the mini, so I am not able to answer your question.  I just downloaded the user guide to see if that helped, but it didn't have anything relevant to your question.

Are you able to use the on-screen keyboard on the Mini Pro?  If so, the only thing I can suggest is to try going to the numbers screen with that and play with it to see if the underscore appears somewhere there.  On the big X10, you cn often find slightly 'hidden' stuff by long-pressing on a character - for example, letters that are used in languages other than English but with accents or other diacritical marks can be found this way.  I don't suppose the underscore appears under the normal hyphen, does it...?  I don't know if that might also work on the physical keyboard on the Mini Pro, but it might be worth a try.

Sorry I am unable to suggest anythig else.  There must be an underscore somewhere on the Mini Pro, I'd have thought, so fiddling with it might be your best bet, unless someone else is able to give you a definitive answer.

Good luck!

I knew I'd seen a thread before asking about symbols on the mini pro's, have a look at this one - there is a chap called andy if you scroll down and he changed something in the Locale and Text bit.  Don't know if it will help in any way, but you'd have thunk that there was a way to do an underscore.

Thankz suze,

I checked it there...

But the mistake was I didnt check the default input and so the characters were disabled...
