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'.
