I cannot find the approximation symbol (wavy equals sign) on
Mathematica 6.

I forget exactly how Version 6 looks, but it should be on the Symbols tab of
the Complete Characters or Special Characters palette.

You can enter it by esc ~~ esc/

Hi,

it's this one

\[TildeTilde]

and you find it by going to
Palettes->Basic Typesetting->Operators

Cheers

As Dirac said, that is not a question! It's a statement.

Try ESC ~ ~ ESC.

You may find it in the palette "SpecialCharacters"

On the Basic Math Assistant palette (Palettes>Basic Math Assistant at the
top), click on Typesetting, then click on the third tab (titled "X").

{"\[Tilde]","\[TildeTilde]","\[TildeEqual]"}//FullForm
List["\[Tilde]","\[TildeTilde]","\[TildeEqual]"]

The first can be entered as \[Tilde] or Esc ~ Esc. (Esc is the "escape"
key.)
