[net.micro.apple] Tilde in Macterminal

km@emory.UUCP (Ken Mandelberg) (11/15/84)

Does anyone have a patch for macterminal that will make
it easier to type a ~. Pressing three keys at once
(command-shift-tilde) is not a very  good solution for
a character that comes as frequently as tilde on 
Unix (mail, rlogin, tip, cu, ..).

Using Fedit open MacTerminal. In block 7 at position 150 is a row of
16 characters, mostly periods, with four ` and two ~.  These sixteen
characters are the table for the ~/`/Esc key.  I changed it as follows:

Starting at position 150:

	HEX  1B60 7E7E 1B60 7E7E 7E60 7E7E 7E60 7E7E

      ASCII  .`~~.`~~~`~~~`~~

The first 1B is the unshifted key.
The second 1B is with caps lock on.

The four ` are the command, caps lock-command, and either option &
command.

Any key combination with the shift key pressed will generate the
tilde.

I renamed the file MacTerm to distinguish it and placed a note in
the get information.  Thus I can always spot the modified version.
