Copying WPA keys

Is there a way of adding WLAN encryption information to the N95 without using the keypad?

I need to authenticate with a WLAN that has 256-bit WPA encryption and dont fancy typing in 63 characters on the keypad!

I have the key in a .txt file. Can I insert that some way?

Thanks in advance.

1. Why not configure and save you're access point WLAN settings once and for all in Tools\Settings\Connections\Access points....?
or...
2. Open the textfile from your phone, mark/select the text (e.g. the wpa key) by pressing and holding the "pen" button and at the same time press navigation key (right or left depending on your markers position). You will then have the option "copy" available... Copy and exit/switch to WLAN config and when in field for web key press and hold "pen" button => Select "Paste".

Thanks!

Your advice in number 2 helped me sort this! I'm new to Symbian so was unsure how to copy text.
