You are right that standard US keyboards do not have an AltGr key (I've never seen such a keyboard in the US, only in Europe and possibly in Canada). On DOS for many years (and I believe this carries through with Windows) on a US keyboard, you could hold the right Alt key down and type in the decimal value of the ASCII code on the numeric keypad for whatever character you wished. I don't know if this was/is possible with a non-US keyboard. The AltGr key does seem much more handy for entering unkeyed characters. > > 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. > > > >> On Aug 12, 2008, at 7:02 AM, Henrique Dallazuanna wrote: > >>> You want the tilde on R? > >>> > >>> If yes, you want do this: > >>> > >>> plot(1, xlab = "\u0303") > >>> plot(1, xlab = "\u00c3") > >>> plot(1, xlab = "\u00D1") > >>> > >>> > -- > Brian D.
