[ thanks to all who enlightened me - here's the combined wisdom of the net ]

There is no control-~ character in ASCII. The only non alphabetic
control characters are @,[,\,],^,_
Use CMD-space to generate the null (^@ is what you wanted)
Use CMD-6 to get out of Telnet (is this why you wanted CMD-~)
[,],\ are just as you'ld expect.
^_ is generated by command-/
^^ is generated by command-6 (not command-shift-6 for some reason)


[ hope someone else is glad I asked ]
