Carol responds:

Thanks, Geoff, but I'm afraid that those tactics don't work with my PC. I even tried them in Word, but alt N took me to the Insert Menu and alt/shift plus tilde did nothing (except a plain n when I typed n). Of course, in Word, I can just use the Insert menu.

Carol, who is too worried about her car's transmission to be anxious about a tilde!
