Philip M Sorry Philip -- I did know about the tilde. Outside the 'standard' ASCII character set, and if you have a super capable editor (including the old fashioned manuscript) the more formal form was two tildes --- close, parallel and horizontal. Since things are quiet -- the silly season? -- I figured such a pointless post was not inappropriate.
