'rlogin' also uses "~" as its escape character.  In your case, to
exit the 'tip' session you must type "~~."   Another way around this
problem is either to use a different escape character for 'rlogin'
(eg. rlogin -e@) or to define a different escape character to 'tip'
in your .tiprc file (es=@).  

Hope this helps.
