[Wine] hash in the wine command line

[com2]

I try to run a command line tool in wine. I was able to open a wine shell but may be I do it the wrong way. The shell does not recognise nor respond to the hash key. When I type it it simple won't appear and the console does not give any feedback. It does not matter if I use the minus from the numeric keyboard either.  

How should I fix this? We talk about wine ver. 1.3.12 here
