You are likely running into a current problem in the OS X Cocoa version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 as included with Lion and as shipped by ActiveState. Previously, if you tried to type composite characters, like Option N, the Cocoa Tcl/Tk would crash. Pending a real fix, a patch was made to Tcl/Tk 8.5 to discard composite characters rather than crash. You should be able to get a tilde by using the post-composite keyboard sequence: try typing "space" followed by "Shift-Option-N". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2907388&group_id =12997&atid=112997 -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
