using a technomancer with the biowire echo, how do you create & activate the skill soft programs? i made a pistols rank 3 program but i cant figure out how to get it to add to the pool of dice..

There should be an area under programs on the matrix tab that handles activesofts. If its a program your character created remember to check the "purchase for free" box when creating it.

Note that programs are also accessible via commlinks and vehicles as well. Also note in the upper right hand corner there is a " pull done chooser" for real world, set that to the correct setting when you're in the matrix to change your dice pools over.

The biowire echo does not allow you to use the same skillsofts that normal chracters can use. Instead, you must emulate a complex form that acts like that skillsoft. The skillsofts are at the bottom of the list of complex forms to choose from. The exact roll you'll need to make is described on pg. 149 of Unwired, in the section titled "Emulation".
