My first try was, of course, the string which K&R has made legendary 
among C programmers:  "Hello, world."  Unfortunately, after that, my
maturity level sunk as my excitement rose, and we ended up with various
strings indicating strong feelings we have about certain individuals we have
here... :)

At any rate, it was interesting to note that the range of the remote 
wasn't much more than the range of the calculator, indicating that
the sensitivity is determined largly on the receiving end, which is
what I recall reading in an old HP Journal about the printer.
