Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to pass a URL as a parameter to a macro if there is 
a tilde character present in the string. In the following example, the 
direct version works, but the macro version has it's '~' character 
substituted by white space.

==================================================

\starttext

\setupcolors[state=start]

\setupinteraction [state=start]

\setupurl
    [style=italic]

{\bf Direct:}

\useURL[tmp][http://www.xs4all.nl/~vnf/]
\goto {\url[tmp]}[URL(tmp)]

{\bf Macro:}

\def\utest#1%
{\useURL[tmp][#1]
 % ...
 % ...
 \goto {\url[tmp]}[URL(tmp)]}

\utest{http://www.xs4all.nl/~vnf/}

\stoptext

==================================================

Joop
