Confirmed.  It's Command + '

(not shift + Command + ~)

"Command + The key with the tilde and the single quote in the number pad of
a Next keyboard:"

What is a Previous?  Never heard of one.

But it should be easy to network anything using the NextStep 3 os, one
system has to be the "Serves" and the rest will connect as a subnet, right?

It’s command-backquote, not quote. The backquote key is in the upper left of 
the numeric keypad.

Sorry for linking to a keyboard poaching site but it has a couple good images 
of the NeXT keyboards:

just replying here too just tried it and yes it's Command + ` (not ~
which would require the shift key).

Wow those threads make me cringe.

Keyboard poachers are /really/ annoying.
