I suspect that the problem is not with the lack of a tilde ("~") or  
the misinterpretation of the special character that you seem to have  
gotten into this mail message, but rather with your failure to type  
the two letters "lm" thusly:

model01 <- lm(YIELD~FERTIL)

I have 3 Macs of varying vintages (one desktop and two laptops) and  
they all have the tilde in the upper left corner just below the escape  
key.

Future submissions to the R-help list should be accompanied by a more  
informative subject line. That sort of "Subject" is considered rude  
(some might even say infantile) behavior in this arena.
