...And this is exactly who it should be - except for the fact that on a DE keyboard "~" [tilde] should not be diacritical/non-spacing but straight ascii which is called by alt_ctrl. On a DE (not swiss DE) keyboard only accutus "4" gravis "`" and circumflex "^" are ususally non-spacing/ diacritical to put them on top of e.g. "E/e" and "A/a". To get one single non-spacing character you would strike SPACE after that character exactly as described below. The same applies to non-spacing characters on French/swiss German (e.g. cedilla), Latin, Polish etc keyboards. This is because the keyboard chip/locales do not allow for all character to be displayed below or on top of a non-spacer such as "^". ^p doesn't work but j/J and b/B. Dietmar

Ihave noticed this in SOME Windows applications as well as in Linux. I have found that the answer seems to be to type a SPACE after the first diacritical character if that is all you want to see eg (And I have just found that Outlook Express does just THAT!!!!) if you want to type 1234567~.DOS then enter '1234567~[SPACE].DOS'.
