| 441515 | 2006-03-29 02:04:00 | But that's not an apostrophe ("'"). It's a grave character. Both those characters have uses in *nix. The ~ (tilde) is used as a synonym for a user's home directory. The (`) grave can be used in command lines. Any commands enclosed in " `" included in a line are executed and the result is used to replace the "`" quoted bit in the final command line which is executed. In some keyboard setups, you need to hit ` twice to get it to show ... that's for International use when you might want to get an accent. (like "ē") ... this one seems to be set up to give the Maōri macron accent. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
