Programming the Fluke 9100 - Am I out of luck?

I'm hoping that someone else with a Fluke 9100
system can answer some questions:

Even though the option sticker on the back of my case lists the
-004 (programming) option and 4mB of RAM, it looks
like someone has pulled them both out. When I hit
the EDIT key, I get a "EDIT OPTION NOT INSTALLED"
error. Even though I don't have the programmer's keyboard or
monitor, I would think it would still enter the EDIT mode without
them if the -004 software was really installed. Can anyone that *does*
have this option check to see what happens when you try to
enter the EDIT mode without the keyboard and monitor attached?

It looks like without EDIT mode this thing might be no more powerful
than a 9010A. Apparently, you can't even use the RS-232 ports to
transfer data unless you get into EDIT mode. Best case, I can save
key sequences on floppies and not much more.

Or am I (hopefully) missing something?
