[R] italian keyboard and ~ symbol

[Federico Calboli]

Dear All,

I would like to ask the following:

a colleague is using R 1.8.1 for Windows XP on his laptop. The keboard
is the standard Italian layout, which is missing the ~ (tilde) key. For
reasons unknown, typing <Ctrl> <Alt> 126, which I understand is the
standard ASCII code, does not produce the desired symbol (any
combination of keys seems to fail...)

Can anyone advice how to produce the ~ symbol, short of a copy/paste
from MS Word?

Regards,

Federico Calboli
