Primes

The use of ' to indicate the derivative of a function is all well and good. But primes are also used for other purposes. Mathcad prime seems to have no way to enter a prime character as a part of a name (as distinct from an operator on a function).

Further, importing names that have primes is inconsistent. Depending on context it may import as a primed name (which can be copied, but not entered) or it may become the function derivative operator.

See the attached file!
I can not say how I do it.
Why?
It is not documented input. We can not for example plot y'(x). But the unit km/h or kJ/kg are very useful. But I can not to use kJ/(kg K).
