title: Typing the tilde ~ character in DOS
body: <p>In my DOS prompt I have to put in a tilde (<code>~</code>) character to open any files.  </p>
  
  <p>For some reason it won't show up in the DOS box/prompt. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any form of Ctrl shortcut key thing that could get me to typing a <code>~</code> character? </p>
  
  <p>It's only the DOS prompt that won't recognize that key is what gets me the most though.</p>
