The only way you can get the pipes, tilde and other useful things
like a break key, interrupt key, and cursor control is buy or make
a good terminal program.  TERMCAPs and the stty command are only
cosmetic.  They can not redefine the C64's character set.

I own a VIC20 and I'm looking over about 4 different terminal
programs and support TERCAPs.  What I've seen will not be accept-
able for my use.  So-----I'm in the process of writing my own.
A possible suggestion if you're going this route is to sit down
with your C64 and find out what the computer see's for each key
that is typed in.  I have found out what some terminal programs
say and what actually is are two different things.  Sit down
with the true ASCII codes and compare them to the C64's modified
ASCII.
