Hi 😀 While using DOSBox I encountered this symbol which I need to type in to continue yuEScYi However I've got no clue how to type it in. Any help?
Thanks 😊

Sorry I'm new to all this so I'm not even sure if the image uploaded in the first place. Just in case it didn't upload: http://imgur.com/yuEScYi

you mean the Tilde?

I think you have to hold ALT then press 1 2 6 on the right block of keyboard (numpad) then release ALT.

this shortens the name of files or directories in Dos, cause threre can be only 8+3 chars.

So "verylongname" becames "verylo~1"

You should ask DOSBox questions in the DOSBox forum.
