By pressing/releasing the windoze flag key off the left side of the space bar, then pressing ~ and a there's now an ã in the JabRef entry, as well as in this urxvt terminal running alpine. :-) Thanks, everyone!

Riki,
I, too, saw the blank replacing the tilde.
I just set a keyboard key to Compose. When I resolve the issue of no
bibliography in the pdflatex PDF I'll play with the accent issue.
Thanks,

Nope. It tells me there's an unexpected '(' in the string.

I'll ask on the slackware mail list how to set a compose key using the
right-side alt key.

It didn't like the first two. I need to learn how to enter it directly in
using /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.

A cluestick is needed.
