You don't, unless you are using some kind of program that provides this
ability (or you have changed your character set). If you need it for
telecomputing, the kermit versions for the C64 offer a backslash. I
believe it is under the disguise of the British pound symbol on these
programs. Actually, the decimal ascii equivalent of '\' is 134. If you
can find any way of sending decimal 134 through the modem, you have sent a '\'.

In Kermit, here is the C64 keypress to character sent map (I think, hard
to say, since I don't have my C64 in front of me at the moment):

			C64		Char.
			---		----	

			Shift-minus	  {
			Shift-plus	  }
			Brit. Pound	  \
			f1		  _
			f2		  |
			f3		  `
			f4		  ~

I believe '{' and '}' can also be found under f5 and f6 respectively.

							
					Sure hope this is what you needed,
