Whats wrong wit ~(Tilde) and DX cluster?

Is there anybody here who knows the short-key for DX-cluster?
The doc says, you can use ~ to spot the last log into the cluster.
I'm using CQRLOG 1.3.1 and Kubuntu natty.

tnx fer answering.....

Hi Chris,

yes, it is the key on the keyboard with ~ but you must press it without a shift key. It is something like ` character.

Hi Chris,

yes, this could be a problem. I have US international keyboard with AltGr deadkeys as default and switch to Czech keyboard only when I must type something in Czech. Most of the time I write text in English or develop something :-).
