Thanks Henrique. We need to use the tilde in formula statements as in,

Any ideas?

Does windows still let you hold down the right alt-key and type ascii
character codes on the number pad?

At least on my machine, only the Alt (left, not AltGr on the right) works.
I believe that in some US keyboard layouts AltGr is missing and there are two Alt keys.

My wife has a Spanish keyboard loaded, and using On-screen Keyboard it shows that AltGr+5 is ~. There are several different Spanish keyboards and the one with Euro seems to be AltGr+4, so bring up On-screen Keyboard (Accessories->Accessibility), click on the right Alt key and look at the layout.

The uses of AltGr in Microsoft keyboard layouts can be found at

If so, you should be able to hold down Right-Alt and type 1, 2, 6 on the
number pad to get a tilde out of the keyboard.

You want the tilde on R?

If yes, you want do this:

plot(1, xlab = "\u0303")
plot(1, xlab = "\u00c3")
plot(1, xlab = "\u00D1")
