13.17) How do I type a tilde (common character in Web URL's) on my Atari?

The question is: "How do I type the tilde or squigly line which is in
most web addresses? I don't have a key for it..."
Answer: The tilde is an inverse backspace on the Atari 8-Bit which can
be very hard to type depending on the term program you are using,
however you can insert the hex equivalent very easily, which is %7e in
place of the tilde and it will work just perfectly. Do not put a space
either before or after the %7e.
I (Michael) add:
Some advanced Atari software supports the tilde character natively. E.g.,
you can type a tilde in Ice-T with the Atari Logo/Inverse Video key.
